In Lebanon, only 23.5% of women are part of the labour force.

In Bhutan, women’s unpaid household work equals to 16% of GDP.

In Kenya, only 10% of agricultural credit goes to women.

Such inequalities mean climate change impacts women differently too.

[UN Development @UNDP]

We work with 115 countries across the world to turn the #ClimatePromise into #ClimateAction. We’re committed to ensuring that every country can increase the ambition of its national climate pledge: https://t.co/kJYCxVgYjS

As GOP dopes rattle on about how we shouldn't do anything because of China, @GretaThunberg says quietly, 'in Sweden some people say we shouldn't do anything because of the US. Just so you know.'
Audience explodes in joyful laughter
