Just as it is possible for Qatar to be the world’s greatest emitter per capita and still want action on climate change; it is possible for wealthy women of the Middle East to stand alongside the women of impoverished Congo as vulnerable in the face of climate change and demand to be a part of the decisions that will shape their lives.
Discussions like this are important because they show that women can have an impact on issues like climate change. Yet, as women tally higher in death counts after natural disasters, are subjected to more violence in climate related conflict, and suffer more illness; it is vital that those men and women who have the privilege of a voice within the climate change negotiations, ensure that the voices of the most disenfranchised and the most affected are heard.
