Shownotes

Women and Girls on the Climate Change Frontline: Navigating Climate Change in the LDCs, a podcast series that shines a light on the women and girls leading the fight against climate change in the least developed countries.

This episode is an introduction to the topic of women and climate change. It covers the reasons why women are disproportionately affected by climate change and why they need to be included in the conversation.

A show of this quality would not be possible without the incredible talent of Sarah Harris-Simpson, as well as the extraordinary and persistent support of Sorina Crisan and Eda Isik.
