Description
On this installment of our series, The Road To COP26 Presented By Octopus Energy, we discuss gender equality and representation with Amiera Sawas, Director of Programmes and Research at Climate Outreach. She explains what we lose when women are underrepresented in climate media, climate negotiations, and climate science authorship, the specific burden women around the world face with the climate crisis, and how COP26 has faired when it comes to achieving its stated goal of achieving "the full and meaningful participation of women and girls in climate action." Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss what's at stake in the second week of COP26 and the depressing reality of nations undercounting emissions.
