The fight against climate change critically depends on the involvement of young women, who are among the most vulnerable to its impacts. Women and girls face disproportionate impacts from climate change, largely because they make up the majority of the world's poor and rely heavily on local natural resources for their livelihoods. In developing countries, they are responsible for up to 80% of food production.

Dear Cultural Survival Community,
Although rainforests cover only 6% of the Earth, they harbor over half of its plant and animal species. These vital, biodiverse regions regulate the global climate by collecting carbon and producing oxygen. For millions of Indigenous Peoples, rainforests are homelands, providing food, medicine, and cultural identity. Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge is crucial for forest sustainability and environmental resilience.
