Enhancing Women's Leadership

Women serve as agents of social change and development through their unique roles in the family and child care, agricultural labour, food and nutrition security, health and disaster risk reduction. The promotion of their engagement and leadership is critical to addressing climate change in equitable, healthy, and sustainable ways. Integrating women’s empowerment as well as food and nutrition security and health in adaptation strategies is urgently needed to ensure the well-being of communities under a changing climate.
