Who needs a seat at the climate change table?
Although women and youth are deeply affected by climate change, they tend to be overlooked in decision-making.
The climate crisis is one of the most pressing issues confronting Africa. Over the past decade, it has become a key global issue generating reams of research reports, policies and media stories.
Women and youth are deeply affected by climate change, yet their potential as powerful stakeholders and change agents is often overlooked in climate policies and decisions. Why must marginalised populations have a seat at the climate table? What issues need more action? How will inclusion contribute to better outcomes for all?
Simultaneous English-French interpretation will be provided.
