At the #COP26, the leaders of Estonia, Tanzania and Bangladesh were the first to sign the Glasgow Women’s Leadership statement, calling for countries to support the leadership of women and girls on climate action at all levels of society and politics. Continue... #IWD2022#CSW66
#IWD2022 theme “ Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”, calls for recognition of the contribution of women and girls around the world, who are leading the charge on climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response, to build a more sustainable future for all.
#CSW66 is yet another opportunity to call all climate actions to recognize the differentiated impact of climate change by age, gender, disability and location. And ensure women's and girls’ voice, agency & their full and effective participation in leadership. #IWD2022
Glasgow Women's Leadership statement at #COP26 recognizes that women and girls are often disproportionately affected by climate change and face greater risks and burdens from its impacts, particularly in situations of poverty.

Countries and stakeholders should pledge and commit to advancing Feminist Action for Climate Justice blueprint, during #IWD2022 and #CSW66. We need to see all leaders #ActOnTheGap and increase funding for gender justice!

#ClimateCrisis has no borders and affects us all. It especially hurts those in poorer countries, which are also the countries that contribute the least to it. The richest 1% produce twice as much carbon emissions as the poorest half of the world’s population. #UprootTheSystem
We are in the loss & Damage era!
Extreme weather, drought and rising seas are now forcing people out of their livelihoods and their homes, and recovering from these disasters is more and more difficult. #COP26#UprootTheSystem
The group wants all countries to agree on radical steps to avoid "climate catastrophe" at the upcoming #COP26.
Green campaigners are urging a postponement of the gathering, citing problems with vaccines for delegates.
@TheCVF says the event is critical and cannot wait.
@TheCVF member states insist the meeting must go ahead in person and are calling for support and "facilitated access" to ensure inclusive participation. Progress on climate change has stalled and #COP26 should move forward with what it terms a "climate emergency pact".
