"Women and girls should be at the centre of tackling the climate crisis but instead, our voices are silenced and we are ignored when funding is distributed.Conscious and unconscious barriers holding women back must be demolished. We are losing our lives and livelihoods due to climate change caused by rich countries and corporations. It is time for Rishi Sunak and other world leaders to listen and support women and girls.”Stephanie Akrumah,Centre for Green Growth.#COP28#ClimateAction

At COP28, the gender balance of party delegations is 62% male to 38% female.While this is an improvement on recent years, it's still nowhere near gender parity. As climate change disproportionately affects women and girls, this is a problem.#COP28 #ClimateActionhttps://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-which-countries-have-sent-the-most-delegates-to-cop28/

@chris I don't understand the cultural reference. Are you for or against gender parity?

@ProjectFearlessnessI am if it's the result of merit and not based on equity. Through progress and evolution and the growth in that direction. It's a good number to expose but making a law that forces it always turns out poorly. It builds resentment and throws women to the wolves unless they have all the tools and experience happens. If equity==parity then I don't know if I'm for it. It needs to be encouraged and facilitated not mandated. Clear?

@chris Yes, that's clear. I can see your point, but we're on the edge of a slippery slope here. What you're saying is we shouldn't push for gender equality because some men won't like it. It's 2023, how much longer should we wait?

@ProjectFearlessnessI just looked at COP28 and aren't most of those people royalty of sorts? Many of those cultures being exceedingly chauvinistic and sexist? You're right. It's a slippery slope. And since I'm a male chauvinist feminist (I thought I was an actual feminist but my last girlfriend disabused me of that) but I'm seeing huge amounts of weird equity blowback happening and I don't want anything being branded as tokenism. Sorry about male chauvinist mansplaining.You've been kind

@ProjectFearlessnessI'm all for pushing and enabling systems that feed women into places of power; actually, I'm against entitled rich elite "gentleman C" leadership. As society trends more to only women thriving in college, grad school, and postdoc, I can only assume that it'll be more 60/40 majority women before long.

@chris It is a valid concern. Introducing quotas to force gender equality does leave women open for criticism about whether they are the best candidate for the job. It's an issue.In an ideal world gender equality would, with a little encouragement, just happen organically. This is not an ideal world.
