Annual campaign : Women, leaders in climate change adaptation

Whether in Guinea, Guatemala, or Quebec, women are on the front lines of the challenges brought by climate change. Their essential role in managing natural resources and their reliance on these resources to meet their families’ needs make them particularly vulnerable. However, they also stand out as agents of change, capable of turning challenges into opportunities for their communities. 

Maïmouna Camara, president of the Maïmouna group in the rural municipality of Allassoyah, Guinea, shares the realities that many Guinean women face daily. As a participant in the Guinean Forest NbS project led by CECI and WUSC, Maïmouna describes the direct impact of climate change on her life:

At CECI, we strongly believe in the potential of women to overcome these challenges and use them as levers for transformation. Through projects like the Guinean Forest NbS project, we provide women with the tools they need to adapt to climate change. By supporting women leaders, we do more than just improve their living conditions; we contribute to deep and lasting change within their communities.

Your support is essential to amplify the voices of these women and give them the means to overcome challenges, such as access to drinking water or agricultural tools. Together, we can make climate change adaptation a tangible reality, where gender equality is translated into concrete action. But we can't do it without you! By investing in projects like NbS Forêts Guinéennes, you are directly helping women like Maïmouna to improve their livelihoods, strengthen their food security and ensure a sustainable future for their communities. Thank you for believing in their potential and contributing to this crucial change.

Yes, I support women’s leadership in climate change adaptation!
