FAIR COP? THE AFRICAN WOMEN SHOWING WHY GENDER JUSTICE EQUALS CLIMATE JUSTICE

While women and girls are bearing the brunt of increasingly brutal climate impacts in the developing world, they also hold the key to taking decisive action against climate change and building resilience against its effects. That is one of the central messages being delivered by climate justice campaigners at the COP26 climate summit. “We’ve seen that in all emergencies, whether they’re climate related or conflict related, the vulnerabilities of women get exposed more,” says Chikondi Chabvuta, from Malawi, attending COP26 on behalf of the humanitarian organization CARE.
