Climate change is a defining threat of the 21st century, bringing irreversible losses to communities, livelihoods and the environment. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, is the hardest hit by climate change and faces impacts well above the global average.
Despite the region’s exposure to climate risks, it is also positioned to benefit from the global shift towards net-zero transitions. Advancing this transition for climate action required collaborative efforts, targeted policies and inclusive approaches that prioritize the needs of all communities.
Under the EmPower: Women for Climate Resilient Societies (EmPower) Programme, UN Women and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) co-organized the regional cross-learning workshop "Delivering Solutions: Accelerating Gender-Responsive Climate Action in Asia and the Pacific" from 3-5 March 2025 that provides a collaborative platform for regional stakeholders, such as government representatives and development partners, to engage in meaningful dialogue and share experiences in advancing climate action across the Asia-Pacific region.

A coalition of Native American tribes within the Southwest is lobbying the Biden administration to create a sweeping nationwide monument to guard federal lands adjoining to Grand Canyon Nationwide Park from uranium mining and different improvement.
Members of the Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition, which incorporates the Havasupai, Hopi, Hualapai and 9 different tribes, held a press convention Wednesday to formally name for about 1.1 million acres north and south of the park to be designated as Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Grand Canyon Nationwide Monument.
Edmon Tilousi, vice chair of the Havasupai Tribe, advised reporters a monument would safeguard tribal ancestral homelands, cultural websites and water assets from the dangerous results of mining. The realm is wealthy in uranium.
“We merely can't reside with out these clear waters,” Tilousi mentioned. “As guardians of the Grand Canyon, we've an obligation not solely to our ancestors…however to our youngsters and future generations.”
A number of space tribes have deep cultural and religious ties to the Grand Canyon — connections that tribes hope to see mirrored within the proposed monument’s title. “Baaj Nwaavjo” means “the place tribes roam” within the Havasupai language. “I’tah Kukveni” means “our footprints” in Hopi.
A monument designation underneath the Antiquities Act of 1906 would cement a at present 20-year mining ban that the Obama administration put in place in 2012. In 2017, after a multiyear authorized battle, the U.

The Lake Victoria fisheries has undergone some of the most intense ecological disturbances ever seen in a big freshwater ecosystem, attributed to both climatic and non-climatic pressures. Migori and Homabay counties are hotspots of community vulnerability to these impacts of climate change with direct impacts on the livelihoods of especially women and youth.
On March 11 2024, World Fish with support from the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform launched fisheries equipment including solar freezers, solar driers, improved smoking kiln processes and glass display boxes to improve shelf life of fish and related products in Homabay County, Kenya. The equipment targets women involved in cooperative societies within the fishing communities who process and sell fish at local markets.

We're all puffed up about protecting the ocean for generations to come. So tonight we drew some of the many wonderful creatures who live there with the kids at Mount Sinai Hospital on our live drawing show! Our KidZone TV show is recorded in Mount Sinai's own production studio and is beamed into all the kids' rooms at once. The kids each have their own drawing kit and they call in or text their questions and comments to us and sometimes even join us in the studio!
