妇女参与可持续发展

从沉没的岛屿到干旱的热带草原，妇女在全球变暖危机中承受着巨大的负担，这主要是由于性别不平等造成的。在世界许多地方，妇女扮演着家庭和社区主要照顾者的传统角色，也是食物和燃料的主要提供者，因此在洪水和干旱发生时更容易受到伤害。据联合国估计，因气候变化而流离失所的人中有80%是妇女。即使在劳动力性别差距显著缩小的国家，家庭性别差距依然存在。在美国，尽管目前女性在有偿劳动力中的人数超过了男性，但她们所承担的家务劳动和育儿工作却是男性的两倍。

然而，妇女在应对气候变化方面发挥着至关重要的作用，因为她们了解当地的可持续资源管理知识，并在这方面发挥着领导作用，而且在家庭和社区层面引领着可持续做法。事实上，妇女在政治层面的参与能更好地满足公民的需求，往往能加强跨党派和跨种族的合作，带来更持久的和平。在地方一级，妇女参与领导工作已使气候相关项目和政策取得更好的成果。

克里斯蒂安娜-菲格雷斯

克里斯蒂安娜-菲格雷斯（Christiana Figueres）是当代气候变化领域的女性领军人物，她在 2010 年至 2015 年期间担任《联合国气候变化框架公约》执行秘书，推动了《Paris 协定》的达成。在领导一家非营利性气候变化组织八年之后，菲格雷斯在负责国际气候变化谈判的《联合国气候变化框架公约》处于最低谷时接过了领导权。就在五个月前，全球在 2009 年Copenhagen 峰会上未能达成协议。她注入了独特的乐观主义，试图将谈判从她所谓的 "政治垃圾桶 "中剔除。她成功了。菲格雷斯成功地引导世界各国领导人在2015年达成了《Paris 协定》。菲格雷斯与其他一些参与谈判的女性一起，成功地揭示了气候变化的性别维度。
 

雷切尔-凯特

One of the pioneers of corporate and governmental sustainability, Rachel Kyte is the former CEO of Sustainable Energy for All and the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All. Operating at the highest diplomatic level, Kyte’s work was instrumental to achieving the 2030 sustainable development goals for the universal access, efficiency, and sustainability of energy. As climate change exploded as an issue on the international scene, Rachel became a go-to expert for heads of state and multinational CEOs trying to figure out how to transition away from fossil fuels. In the lead-up to the September 2019 UN Climate Change Summit, she played an influential role leading the UN Secretary General’s push for countries and companies to make new commitments to expedite the energy transition. As the leader of the World Bank’s climate program ahead of negotiations that yielded the Paris Agreement, Kyte developed strategies to make hundreds of billions of dollars available to developing countries eager to address climate change but lacking the resources. 
 

伊斯拉-希尔西

Isra Hirsi is an American environmental activist. She co-founded and served as the co-executive director of the US Youth Climate Strike. Hirsi was one of the lead organizers of the first-ever Youth Climate Strike in the US. The young activist is pursuing climate justice by raising awareness about environmental racism. Her mission is to ensure that any climate action prioritizes communities of color and those likely to be marginalized, who are often disproportionately impacted by climate change. "Climate change mostly affects communities of color and low-income communities, and these people live in these areas under these conditions, and we don’t really do anything about it," she told The Cut. "I think people of color are automatically ignored. It’s also important to advocate to people who aren’t fully aware of the problem to make sure they take a stand and come together because climate change affects all us," she added. "We all have to come together at some point."

格丽塔-图恩伯格

格丽塔-图恩伯格是瑞典环保活动家，因挑战世界各国领导人立即采取行动应对气候变化而闻名全球。2018 年，当时年仅 15 岁的格丽塔-图恩伯格在瑞典发起了一场罢课活动，以引起人们对气候危机的关注，从那时起，她的信息就在全球范围内传播开来--尽管她因为高碳排放而避免乘坐飞机旅行。她激励着世界各地的年轻人追随她的脚步，通过罢课和游行向成年人和决策者表明，气候变化是真正的紧急事件。"我们是孩子，我们在说：'既然没有人关心我们的未来，我们为什么要关心呢？在这个社会中，事实并不重要，我们为什么要费心去了解事实呢？'当孩子们说出这样的话时，我认为成年人会感觉非常糟糕。 

我们鼓励您了解这些了不起的活动家，并与您生活中的年轻女性分享，激励她们也可以通过组织和积极行动来改变世界。做正确的事永远不会太早（或太晚）。
