Women from Indigenous and local communities are the key to stop climate change. 👩🏽🦱👩🏽🦰👩🏿 📣 Their knowledge and resilience have to be recognized in decision-making spaces.
This #GenderDay at #COP27, we urge global leaders to eradicate the discrimination against them.💜

It’s time for transformative action.
