Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing issues of our time, and its consequences are being felt worldwide.
However, the impact is particularly severe in South Asia, where changing weather patterns affect food security, water resources, and livelihoods.
Women in the South Asia region are particularly vulnerable to these changes, as they often bear the impacts of environmental degradation and have fewer resources and opportunities to adapt. But women are also powerful agents of change and innovation in the fight against climate change.
In our panel discussion today, join Ms. Aisha Khan and Ms. Dibya Devi Gurung as they share their reflections and experiences on the different climate change-related challenges faced by women in the region, and how supporting their participation in decision-making and access to technology helps them build an inclusive, sustainable and climate-resilient future.
