Ganta, Nimba County – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia in collaboration with United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) on Tuesday began a two-day national dialogue aimed at ­integrating gender into the revision process of Liberia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). As ambitious as Liberia’s INDC is, it didn’t consider Gender inclusiveness, even though climate change affects women greatly. Climate change is one of the most important societal issues currently facing the world. These events are part of a new pattern of more extreme weather across the globe, shaped in part by human-induced climate change. On the other hand, women have unique knowledge and skills that can help make the response to climate change more effective and sustainable.
