Rural Women Take the Lead in Indonesia's Climate Fight

Indonesia's Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection is working to expand the role of rural women in climate action, recognizing them as key drivers of environmental protection in their communities. The ministry is pushing to strengthen rural women's leadership in climate efforts, arguing that their participation is essential to building lasting solutions. Rural women often manage land, water, and food resources, making them central to how communities respond to climate change. The initiative aims to give these women a stronger voice in decision-making and to support their leadership in local climate action.
