Inviting women to a climate meeting is not the same as giving them influence over climate decisions.
Their experiences must shape adaptation priorities, budgets and accountability.
Women should not simply participate in climate action. They should help lead it.

Irrigation. Water harvesting. Resilient livelihoods.
These are not just technical terms. They are practical adaptation priorities raised during our Women Climate Watch stakeholder engagement in Imvepi.
Climate commitments must translate into solutions communities can actually experience.

Climate commitments are made globally, but climate change is experienced locally.
In Imvepi, women experience its effects through livelihoods, food production and access to water.
As COP31 approaches, their realities must inform climate decisions.

What does rights-based climate action look like in practice?
In Imvepi, COTAโs 2-day Women Climate Watch engagement explored HRBA, womenโs lived experiences and the Climate Experience Tool. Mentors welcomed the tool; the LC III highlighted irrigation & water harvesting.
Womenโs voices must inform adaptation. #climatejustice

As we mark #GlobalClimateJusticeWeek, communities in Amuru are speaking up on climate change, sharing local challenges and solutions, and calling for climate action that puts people and communities at the centre.

For many climate-vulnerable countries, disasters create urgent financing needs. But borrowing can create ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ฒs: climate shocks increase financing needs; debt repayments reduce fiscal space; countries have less capacity to prepare for the next crisis.
