Climate Change and Women

February 2007

For this 8 of March 2007, International Women’s Day, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) is highlighting the importance of gender and climate change and giving recognition to the work and the role of women from all around the world in the fields of policy, mitigation, or adaptation to climate change.

IUCN would like to compile the cases of at least one woman from each region in the world. And this is why we appeal to you, interested in the Mediterranean, to help us identify the right candidates in our region.

If you are yourself or know of anyone who could be an example to learn from, please send us a picture with a small paragraph describing your/her main highlights and an explanation of the efforts and commitments to the topic, no latter than the 12 of February.

We look forward to hearing from you.

To send applications, please email Sonsoles.sanroman@iucn.org
