Women are the backbone of communities worldwide, but their voices are often silenced in climate decision-making. Our founder Dr Anino Emuwa called for change at the recently concluded London Climate Action Week, highlighting the critical need for women’s inclusion in climate negotiations. Women’s experiences and perspectives are vital in addressing the climate crisis, which disproportionately affects them. Let’s empower women to take their rightful seat at the table and drive gender-equal climate solutions.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY 🎊 🎉 As the world celebrate women today, we must recognize the important contributions of women as decision makers, caretakers, stakeholders, experts and educators across all sectors for a sustainable solution to climate change. We can solve climate change if we involve women. For practical and effective climate change mitigation, we must unleash the knowledge and capability of women. Via World Economic Forum

Women demonstrate over and over again that we are a force for change.  Women consistently prioritize the safety, security, and wellbeing of their families, often with limited resources to achieve their goals. Build Change helps to ensure women's full and equal participation in home improvement, strengthening, and rebuilding. Women homeowners represent over 60% of Build Change’s clients. We shift power to women so they can better protect themselves and their families when faced with earthquakes and extreme weather, grow their assets and home-based businesses, and lead the march toward resilient housing for all. Women are responsible borrowers and fierce stewards of their family’s safety. Women leaders in government, private sector, and civil society are creating change every day in the housing sector, and we are proud to collaborate closely with them.

This a nice explainer of why women play a vital role in our response to the climate crisis. #ClimateAction needs women! 👇

Climate change is NOT gender-neutral.📣 Research shows that climate change disproportionately impacts women and girls. Across the world, women and girls have emerged as leaders for climate action, but they remain underrepresented in decision-making and negotiations. To address these gaps and promote #genderresponsive climate action, four #INTGenderChampions are launching a new Climate Impact Group. 💪🌱 Take a look at this message from one of the group’s co-chairs, Jagan Chapagain, Secretary-General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC
