Women and youth lead climate action

Just think of all the activities/ initiatives they are involved in, from restoring mangroves to designing clean energy startups, etc., their actions are helping nations bring their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the commitments at the heart of the Paris Agreement to life!

Women and youth lead climate action
Did you know that when women and youth lead, climate action transforms from policy into powerful progress?

Just think of all the activities/ initiatives they are involved in, from restoring mangroves to designing clean energy startups, etc., their actions are helping nations bring their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the commitments at the heart of the Paris Agreement to life!

Unfortunately, less than 10% of climate finance reaches the local, women and youth-led solutions that are already delivering impact and just a fraction of NDCs fully recognize their leadership.

At hashtag#COP30 in Belém, Brazil, provides a great opportunity where the next chapter of climate ambition must not only count emissions but must also amplify voices, especially at the grassroots .
It’s a moment where inclusion becomes implementation.
