Women Push for Greater Gender Awareness in Climate Change Talks

Former Irish President Mary Robinson says United Nations climate change talks need to start getting politically incorrect about women.

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the body that’s led climate treaty negotiations for two decades, has seen an influx of women leaders over the past three years, yet little progress has been made when it comes to raising the gender issue and giving women a bigger role throughout the scope of the process, according to Robinson.
