14 November will be ‘gender day’ at COP27. Could this be an opportunity to support women in the Sahel in their effort to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change, conflict and gender inequalities? What they need are integrated policies, more climate finance and better regional cooperation. COP27 will hopefully consider the needs of fragile states and conflict-affected people, including women. Support for local women’s organisations would be a good start.
