A Word From Our COO

Building Inclusive, Participatory Climate Action

Climate change is already shaping daily life in ways that are hard to ignore, and part of CCER's role is to help students, researchers and the wider public make sense of what that means.

Gender gaps still shape how well communities can adapt to a changing climate, and closing them starts with genuinely inclusive awareness-raising and a collective, participatory action plan.

When climate strategies are built with multiple stakeholders and sectors at the table, governments are better placed to design action plans that account for gender concerns and draw on the specific expertise and perspectives women bring.

Ultimately, women and men need equal space and equal resources to take part in climate decision-making and climate action at every level.
