Join the four-part dialogue series with world leaders: "Virtual Coffee with Changemakers", short sessions where world leaders share their visions and ideas on how we can all become changemakers.
In commemoration of International Women's Day, this Virtual Coffee with Changemakers event is dedicated to celebrating women as environmental stewards and actors of change. As the COVID-19 pandemic has tragically demonstrated, healthy Nature is needed for healthy people and provides us with important buffers against the impacts of climate risks. Llearn about the achievements in promoting Nature-based Solutions for building climate resilience in Africa by two female environmental leaders.
