Climate change disproportionately affects marginalized girls and women. According to The Brookings Institution, "girls and women experience heightened social, economic, and health impacts of climate change, both in the context of slow-onset disasters like droughts or weather-related emergencies brought on by floods, storms, and heatwaves."
But did you know that girls' education has been named a top way to fight climate change? Educated girls means more informed decisions and actions around sustainability. And girls' education alone could cut more than 120 billion tons of emissions by 2050. That's some serious potential impact, and we have the chance to act now.
Join Alvi Rashid (Programs Manager, She's the First) and Maryam & Nivaal Rehman (Founders, The World With MNR) for a discussion on climate justice and learn how to take action on this issue right now.
