The @IPCC_CH report is a sobering wake-up call. But we are not powerless to change course—far from it.

It's possible to build a climate economy we can all be proud of. The progress we've already made collectively is proof.

Now let's speed up, scale up, and stay committed.

Alla vinner på att kvinnor har mer ekonomisk makt!
En ny studie från Sida slår fast att förändrade attityder, normer och lagar är nyckeln till att stärka kvinnors ekonomiska makt. Genom att angripa grundproblemen kan fattigdom bekämpas. https://t.co/bLpWWFZsVK
