How can you beat climate change with only half the world's population? Gender was among the main side-topics at the UN climate summit in Bonn. DW spoke to women who intend to be part of the solution to climate change.

To bolster the role of women in climate change action, delegates have adopted the first Gender Action Plan at the 23rd "conference of the parties," which took place from November 6 to 17 in Bonn.

Women activists and researchers hailed adoption of the plan.

"The issue of gender equality, women's rights and empowerment has really seen an increasing recognition — and that's very positive," Verona Collantes, intergovernmental specialist at UN Women, told DW.

"Without gender justice, world leaders won't create successful climate policies because half of the population will be left behind," she said.

Climate change is affecting everyone living on this planet. But women in particular will feel its impact, experts say. That's because climate change exacerbates existing gender inequality.

WAIT! I thought we had to act quickly? Isn’t involving women the worst thing you can do if you want to act quickly?

Wait until they find out that the major cause of climate change is the detrimental impact of all the birth control pills entering our waterways and ecosystem as a result of their urine chemicals and hormones not being removed by sewage treatment plants. The result is that male fish are exhibiting female symptoms and are unable to breed.

It’s the females fault that we now have gay fish in our rivers. </ s>

When all this March of the Penguins began and Gore stepped up...I remember Hillary saying it was to get kids involved. They sure did....and badgered every kid in every school until they agreed with the enviro-nazis.

It's not Climate Change. It's Menopause.

How would that work? Why not enlist muzzies instead? they’ll chop all the heads off and there won’t be anyone to breathe out all that bad CO2.

Somewhat true if you read about the bass in the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania.

Is it the end for smallmouth bass in the Susquehanna?

Makes sense since women are the most gullible when you are trying to pass off a lie/half-truth that “seems” reasonable.

Most women are not nearly as intelligent as they believe themselves to be. There are plenty of smart women out there, but all too many who are convinced they are much smarter than they truly are.

Oh good grief.
Funny, my wife (a MENSA qualifier) think that worshippers at the Church of the Climate Change are idiots.
So, intelligent women think a bit differently than liberal women.

Don’t know about that, but the bigmouth a** is certainly not on the decline.

Hard to figure out where to start with this one

or

Although, once you realize the mission is NOT to decrease future temperatures it becomes easy to pick.
