We need more women in these rooms!
#JustClimateAction
Worrying analysis. Fewer than 34% of negotiators at #UNFCCC #COP27 were women. Proportion of women involved in official climate talks has been backsliding in recent years.
There is serious work ahead to #ActOnTheGAP. Count us in on diversity & inclusion.
