Why it is necessary to read the climate emergency from a gender perspective

The critical role of women in a climate emergency context involves recognizing their dedication to caring for people and cohesion and their vulnerability, among many other cases, both in developed and developing countries. The context is more critical in countries in economic development, because poverty, lack of access to international and national sources of financing, the fact of not owning agricultural land and the perpetuation of non-respectful ways of doing things (to quote some causes) complicate the situation.

Tree biodiversity protects forests from premature leafing

Just like a sunrise, the emergence of leaves in spring is one of nature’s poetic, awe-inspiring moments. It reminds us of the phases of nature, inexorable and punctual. However, that punctuality is being influenced by climate change, which is causing plants to come into leaf earlier and earlier each year. That, in turn, has consequences for trees, as well as global effects on the carbon cycle and climate change itself.

Did you know that the melting of the Arctic and the anomalous cold of this month of June in Europe are related?

What happens in the Arctic, much to our dismay, does not stay in the Arctic and has effects on the entire planet. Today, these polar areas are experiencing dramatic changes that are modifying the entire climate system and bringing this sense of climate chaos that we have been experiencing for a few years. Climate change, of human origin, is being the cause. We explain it to you.
