Let's accelerate leadership for gender equality in climate action

African countries realised early on that climate and gender equality policies must be closely linked.

Although the Nordic countries are considered to be among the most gender-equal in the world, their national climate policies have, until recently, been gender-blind.

The green transition will cover every part of society, requiring leadership that ensures gender equality in every area, from agriculture to higher education, and from transport to fishery.
