Women Roles in Energy-Climate Nexus
Speaking about climate change, we cannot simply say “we can act later”. It is showing impacts on both our environment and economic growth.

To achieve that target, many actions should be taken, starting from building people’s awareness, to actually working together in tackling climate impacts.

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reported that limiting warming to 1.5 C will require about 45% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from 2010 levels by 2030. However, the NDC Global Outlook Report 2019 from UNDP suggested that we must act more in areas related to climate mitigation quickly to achieve that ambition (UNDP, 2019).
