UN Water Conference Reflections
UN Water Conference : Reflections of CAC Delegates
Having this conference allows Parties to cooperate on a better platform at the international level, and access resources and stakeholders otherwise out of reach. Water is all encompassing, and all actors need to be involved in the drafting of policy, the promotion of access, the investment on water resilience, the fight for sanitation standards and the dialogues pushing for security and equality. The need for access to information is crucial, from local communities to international actors, all need to be educated on the importance of water, the need for urgent action and access tools for better advocacy.

The fundamental principle guiding international climate politics is that countries that grew wealthy by emitting greenhouse gasses have an obligation to reduce emissions more quickly than those that emit less. It’s particularly well-known that richer countries, usually in the global north, are historically the biggest contributors to global emissions. However, greenhouse gasses don’t limit themselves to national borders; the global climate is affected by emissions everywhere.

Disproportionate Gender Impacts of Climate Change in Developing Nations
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to ways of living, health, livelihoods, security, and safety, especially for women and girls in developing countries. But however valuable women’s full and equal contribution is in climate change adaptation and mitigation, their voices are rarely heard. Solving this should be a primary concern in the fight against climate change. Without gender equality today, an equal and sustainable future remains unfeasible.

Reflections From COP26
It has been more than a month since the closing of the 26th Conference of Parties (COP) to UN Climate Change.
