Investing in women is one of the most effective ways to advance sustainable development and fight climate change devastation. Existing conditions and discrimination determine who is most impacted by “natural” disasters.

They are most dependent on the environment for livelihoods, food, fuel and medicine. Women often lead communities in conserving natural resources, adapting crops to chang-ing soil and climatic conditions, and rebuilding following natural disasters.
