In this Climate Global News (CGN) Q&A style article, our Executive Director, Mamta Borgoyary and Head of Communications, Natalie Sifuma discuss the challenges of climate change, particularly how it disproportionately affects women, and emphasise the need for collective action and inclusive leadership. They emphasise the need for collective action and inclusive leadership, highlighting the importance of reducing carbon footprints, staying informed, and advocating for diversity and equity in climate governance. For women pursuing careers in climate advocacy, their advice is to be resilient, curious, and persistent in promoting diversity and inclusion. Full article: https://lnkd.in/eNmbPz7G

Why does centering gender in climate and forest policy matter? Women are key stakeholders in natural resource management - and this needs to be recognized formally- given that women are also disproportionately impacted by the effects of the climate crisis. My colleagues Alexis M. Arthur, Elizabeth Eggerts and Roxana Isabel Auhagen outline 5 key takeaways from countries that have successfully integrated inclusive policies into their strategies: https://lnkd.in/gtaxVx4g

Key takeaways from today's Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development at UN. "Africa needs to put great effort for reversing the current climate trend/ achieve #SDG13-Climate Action." It was also indicated that Africa needs to accelerate progress to achieve set targets on #SDG1 (No Poverty), #SDG2 (Zero hunger), and #SDG17 Partnerships for the goals of the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063). The performance of SDG 13 (Climate Action), is below the requirement, and this is due to climate finance issues. #Women and #gender performance of each SDG was not adequately reported. It is crucial to engage Civil Society Organizations like African Women in Water and Climate for continued advocacy and lobbying tasks to integrate it into the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development is an annual intergovernmental and multi-stakeholder platform mandated by the #AU General Assembly to follow up on the progress of the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 is a plan of action to reinforce five Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are #SDGGOAL1-No poverty; #SDGGOAL2-Zerohunger; #SDGGOAL13-Climateaction; #SDGGOAL16-Peacejusticeandstronginstitutions #SDGGOAL17-Partnershipsforthegoalsofthe2030AgendaandAgenda2063

Women and youth #CSOs play a key role in the acceleration and achievement 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. Representatives from women and youth on the 2nd day of the meeting said that "Building the capacity of local Civil Society Organizations (#CSO) is very important/should be next step to accelerate/achieve Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs), particularly the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063." The awareness of women and youth CSOs on the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063, which is a plan of action to reinforce the five critical Sustainable Development Goals (no poverty, zero hunger, climate action, peace, justice, and strong institutions, partnership for the goals) is low. Therefore, they should be part of the implementation, should be sensitized, and be part of the solution to ensure the principle of leaving no one behind during the implementation. This complements a pressing point raised by one of the keynote speakers yesterday. She said we have to question ourselves "What do SDGs mean for 44 million people displaced? 1/2nd of African women experience abuse? 600 people (men and women who do have no access to electricity? 1/3rd of women using cooking firewood? What are their pathways to the SDGs journey? should be examined" To do this, engagement of CSOs, enhancement of institutional competence, and attention to energy (solar and mini-grids) are mentioned as future solutions to accelerate and achievement of 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. Transformation and modernization of statistical systems (data generation systems) ensure indicators are dis-aggregated by age and sex, and the development of indicators involves women and youth.
