In this TED talk by Katharine Wilkinson from Project
Drawdown, Wilkinson makes the link between creating gender equity and changing
global warming. Project Drawdown has
looked for the best ways to draw down heat-trapping, climate changing emissions.
Wilkinson mentions the obvious ones such as renewable energy, sustainable diets
as well as the less obvious ones such as the education and empowerment of
women. She outlines three key areas in
which we could secure the rights of women and girls, shore up resilience and
divert emissions as well, all at the same time.
These three areas are agriculture, education and family
planning. These are connections you may
not have thought of before but this is part of the new story that is emerging.
