The event Women on the Frontlines of Climate Change: Reports from the Field and Strategies for Action was moderated by Musimbi Kanyoro, Chairman of the WLP Board and has as speakers Andrea Romani (CEPIA), Nezha Belkachla ( ADFM) and Julie Cisse (GIPS/WAR).
The speakers reinforced the need to have a gender sensitive approach to address climate crises since men and women are impacted differently and it is often women who are on the frontlines being more vulnerable, but also playing a key role gathering knowledge and leadership in sustainable resource management and in sustainable practices at the household and community level.
