How women can be empowered in the fight against climate change
As the response to climate change is scaled up across the three core pillars of government, business and international action, women need to be empowered to play a more active and effective role. Women are found in key leadership roles in business, politics, education and family and can use that leadership to mobilize climate action. Good examples of activities that address climate change and which are led by women are this year being showcased by the UNFCCC secretariat’s Momentum for Change Initiative. But more needs to be done. On International Women’s Day, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary would like to hear what you, your company or your organization are doing to fight climate change and empower women, and will give her views on how the role of women can be further strengthened.
