Empowering Gender Rights Defenders to Advocate for Climate Justice
Our training program, conducted on the 18th and 19th of April 2024, focused on equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate for climate justice. We began by introducing the fundamentals of climate change, exploring its causes, impacts, and the basics of climate science such as the greenhouse effect and global warming. Participants engaged in group discussions and case studies to understand environmental challenges specific to their communities.
