🌍PUT WOMEN’S LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCE RIGHTS AT THE CENTRE OF AFRICA’S CLIMATE ACTION!
As Africa advances its climate and development agenda, the voices, rights and lived realities of women must be at the heart of policy and decision-making.
Ahead of the 14th Conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa (CCDA-XIV), we are calling for bold, feminist and transformative policy recommendations that recognise women’s land and natural resource rights as fundamental to climate justice, sustainable development and resilient communities.
📍 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
📅 7–9 September 2026
It is time to move beyond commitments and put women’s rights, agency and leadership at the centre of Africa’s climate action and development agenda.
Women’s land rights are climate rights. Women’s resource rights are development rights. And justice must be at the centre. ✊🏾🌱
