Women are the key

Right now in my country, we are experiencing different weather patterns in different parts of the country. Severe drought in some parts, flooding in others, frost in the highlands, sea levels rising in the islands.

Imminent health risks, severe shortage of food and water are being faced at the moment. And the most affected are the women and children in rural areas. Whilst waiting for relief supplies, women walk long distances to find and fetch water. They seek other means to put food on the table for their families. Being a mother, women take on these tasks without second thoughts to their well being. They put the welfare of their families first. I believe women are the key to climate change.

There's of actions being taken towards climate change. In some area's in my country, people are planting mangroves and building sea walls to stop sea level rising. Awareness are being carried out on conservation of nature and the environment and sustainable living.

To come up with effective solutions and decisions towards a sustainable future, women should take part in these process because as mothers they understand and have experience nurturing their families. And taking part of our planet is like taking care of family.
