Girl’s education and empowerment is a climate solution!

Evidence from Girl Pioneers and the MAIA Impact School

With increased urgency, political and national leaders around the globe are coming together to discuss the threats posed by climate change and strategies to adopt before some of the changes become irreversible. Yet, they often fail to recognize that the climate crisis is gender-sensitive. Taking care of the environment requires more equitable leadership and innovative opportunities for ALL women and girls.

Extensive research suggests that when we provide girls with access to quality education, free of biases and discrimination, we lay the foundation for more vibrant and sustainable communities. In addition, it tackles the underlying inequalities that increase girls’ vulnerability to climate change and helps reiterate its root.
