Women, so often in the front lines of climate change impact, are playing a leading role in finding urban solutions.
The effects of climate-related events are shifting the environment, altering communities and changing lives; especially, and disproportionately, those of women.
While climate change is a global problem, African countries are likely to feel the effects most acutely and women are the most vulnerable of all, as a result of their dependence on the natural resources that are threatened by climate change.
As primary providers of food and fuel, women are most likely to notice the signs of climate change and to be the first to feel its effects.
