Gender — Global
When crises strike, women and girls consistently suffer disproportionately. We need urgent, systemic change to ensure that gender equality is at the center of crisis response
Climate — Global
Even the most optimistic predictions show a significantly warmer planet by 2100. Rather than focusing on quick adaptive fixes, as many current plans do, countries must pursue climate-resilient development strategies that address the systemic nature of the climate crisis
Gender — Global

Gender — Global

Climate — Global
What is the relationship between population growth and human-made climate change? Must we necessarily limit the former to fix the latter?
