“It is a fact that women and girls are disproportionately impacted by climate change, particularly in developing countries”.
This was the statement made by the Australian Deputy High Commissioner Amy Crago at the opening of the third Pacific Climate Change Negotiators Workshop at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat this morning.
Crago highlighted to the participants that while most in the region are working to support an effective response to climate change, women must be a part of the solution at all levels.
There are 22 women from 9 Pacific Island Nations that are part of the Pacific Women Climate Change Negotiators Workshop that will conclude this Friday at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat.
