[+] Climate change is also a gender issue |

For Antonella Risso, technical coordinator of projects in Latin America for the NGO Salud Sin Daño, the event successfully gathered leaders across sectors, such as governments, multilateral organizations, gender experts and medical experts: "Together we analyze how to solve this climate crisis,how to mitigate and adapt our regions, and how to transform everything into strategies!"
Finally, the Executive Director of Antioquia Presente, Marcela Ochoa Bernal, expressed that it is important to strengthen the voice of women in climate change mitigation and adaptation actions. She also emphasized the need to strengthen the dialogues that result from community projects. A strong community dialogue allows locals to become more familiar with their territories, to deepen autonomous research on adaptation strategies in mountain areas, to have more and improved information for the public, and to develop concrete actions through community microprojects, such as those being developed with the ADAPTO Project.
