Attending the UN climate talks feels like a big deal. Despite having been in the climate change movement for some years, Bonn was my first climate summit and it felt big to me. It felt important to be there in an IIED communications capacity, but also as a woman and an activist.

I attended the 23rd Conference of Parties (COP23) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) with the aim of collecting and reporting on the voices of women working at the forefront of climate change at all levels – women leading, and inspiring, small-time activists like me.
