The effects of climate change fall heavily on women, and they make up 80% of those displaced by climate change. Women are the backbone of agriculture, key defenders of natural resources, and their representation in national parliaments has been linked directly to the signing of climate action agreements. Women must have a seat at the table and play a role in the fight.
