Ako posilnenie postavenia žien a dievčat môže pomôcť zastaviť globálne otepľovanie

Ak sa naozaj chceme vysporiadať s klimatickými zmenami, musíme uskutočniť rovnosť pohlaví, tvrdí spisovateľka a environmentalistka Katharine Wilkinson. Wilkinson, ktorá spolupracovala na Projekte Drawdown, pomáhala zozbierať múdrosť ľudstva a riešenia na zníženie emisií, ktoré viažu na seba teplo a menia klímu: zrejmé veci ako obnoviteľná energia a trvalo udržateľná strava a aj nie také zrejmé, ako sú vzdelanie a posilnenie pozície žien. V tomto odvážnom prejave plnom informácií hovorí o troch kľúčových spôsoboch, ako môže rovnosť pre ženy a dievčatá pomôcť v boji s klimatickými zmenami. „Zníženie emisií závisí na vzostupe,“ hovorí Wilkinson.
