Foreword
Dear Friends of the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global
Citizens,
Climate change is the defining challenge of our
era; it is impacting everyone, but it is hitting women
and girls, especially in vulnerable regions, the hardest.
Despite their crucial perspective in addressing
this crisis, their voices are often sidelined. At the
Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens, under the
visionary leadership of our Co-chair Ban Ki-moon,
we remain committed to changing this narrative
and empowering youth to lead the change.
Monika Fröhler
CEO, Ban Ki-moon Centre
for Global Citizens
Our Young Women Leadership on Climate Adaptation
program, supported by the Global Center on
Adaptation (GCA), was designed in cooperation
with our partners at the CARE Climate & Resilience
Academy and the Vienna School of International
Studies to empower young women by equipping
them with the skills, knowledge, and networks
needed to lead climate action. This publication,
Women Adapt Our World: Best Practices in Climate
Adaptation Leadership from and for Young
Women, showcases the transformative impact of
this initiative that saw 60 young women from 12
African countries take part in our training. They
addressed climate challenges with innovative
solutions, from sustainable agriculture in Kenya to
urban resilience in Morocco. Their work embodies
the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement, and it
highlights how inclusive leadership accelerates
progress towards a more equitable world. Their
“Through their work, we witness
the true potential of inclusive
climate action that prioritizes
both the planet and the
most vulnerable populations.”
stories demonstrate the strength and creativity of
young African women in leading adaptation projects
that benefit their communities and contribute
to global resilience.
I am deeply inspired by the innovative solutions
and leadership these women have shown.
Through their work, we witness the true potential
of inclusive climate action that prioritizes both the
planet and the most vulnerable populations. I hope
these inspiring examples drive us all to continue
championing gender equality and climate action,
ensuring that no one is left behind in our journey
towards a sustainable future.

Foreword
Women Adapt Our World
Foreword
The urgency to confront the climate crisis has never
been more pressing, and Africa stands at the
forefront of this challenge. Communities across
the continent are grappling with increasingly severe
and frequent climate shocks—droughts,
floods, and extreme heat—placing millions of livelihoods,
educational prospects, and well-being
at risk. Women and youth, in particular, bear the
greatest burden of these escalating challenges.
According to GCA’s State and Trends in Adaptation
Report 2021, women make up two-thirds of the
world’s 600 million small livestock managers, yet
in Africa, they manage just 15% of the land. The
interconnections between climate change and
gender inequality are complex and pervasive. Climate-driven
shortages of water, food, and energy
exacerbate the hardships faced by women and
girls, who must travel longer distances and bear
greater costs to access these essential resources.
However, amidst these trials, there is a groundswell
of hope—a “youthquake” shaking the continent.
Young people from Kenya to Senegal and
Morocco are stepping up to lead with resilience
and creativity, actively engaging in climate adaptation
efforts. Yet, their vast potential remains largely
untapped.
In response to this context, the Global Center on
Adaptation (GCA) and our partners are committed
to driving impactful, gender-responsive climate adaptation
initiatives across Africa. We understand
that addressing the climate crisis isn’t solely about
reducing environmental impacts—it’s about empowering
the most vulnerable, particularly women
and youth, to take the lead in these adaptation efforts.
The Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program
(AAAP) reflects this commitment. Its flagship
initiative, Empowering Youth for Entrepreneurship
and Job Creation in Climate Adaptation and Resilience,
focuses on equipping young people with the
skills and knowledge to excel in adaptation, promoting
innovation and inclusive growth, fostering
entrepreneurial capacity, and ensuring access to
funding and mentorship for youth- and women-led
businesses in the adaptation space.
women from 12 African countries, preparing them
to lead climate adaptation in their communities.
By enhancing their leadership and technical capacities,
the OET program is fostering a new generation
of women leaders who are driving transformative
change. These collaborations ensure that
young women and youth are not just participants
but leaders in building a climate-resilient Africa.
This publication highlights the inspiring stories of
young women leaders across Africa who are making
a difference.
Their journeys exemplify the
transformative power of youth
leadership and underscore the
critical role of women in creating
a climate-resilient future.
Their determination is a powerful reminder of the
importance of investing in and supporting young
women at the forefront of climate adaptation efforts.
To the young women of Africa: I encourage you to
continue leading climate adaptation in your communities.
Your unique knowledge, skills, and perspectives
are crucial in unlocking the full potential
of this continent. Together, you can build a future
that is resilient in the face of climate change.

Introduction
The Online Executive Training – Young Women
Leadership on Climate Adaptation (OET – YWLCA)
was created to address a pressing need: the inclusion
of young women’s voices in climate adaptation
leadership across Africa.
Africa is on the front line of climate change, and
although it has the world’s youngest population,
its leadership remains predominantly older, and
young women in particular face significant barriers
to political participation. Extreme weather conditions
are already a reality affecting the continent,
with worse impacts expected later this century;
without adaptation, progress in food security and
development could be reversed. Despite the reality
that young people will bear the future costs of
climate change, they are too often excluded from
key decisions on climate change. To prevent this,
young changemakers must step into leadership
roles. Therefore, the OET – YWLCA was designed
to empower young women to lead in climate adaptation
and address intersectional barriers to inclusion,
including those based on gender and age.
The training was supported by the Global Center
on Adaptation (GCA) and organized by the Ban Kimoon
Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) in partnership
with the CARE Climate & Resilience Academy
and the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. It offered
a 20-week virtual program designed specifically
for women aged 20 to 35 from various African
countries.
In 2021, the first cohort consisted of participants
from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt,
Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe, while the
second cohort in 2023 consisted of participants
from Ethiopia, Malawi, Namibia, Senegal, Cameroon,
and Morocco.
The training combined live group sessions on
Zoom with self-paced learning through videos,
quizzes, and assignments on an exclusive online
learning platform. Participants not only deepened
their understanding of climate adaptation but also
honed the leadership skills necessary for driving

As the Earth’s temperatures increase, so do the
costs of the climate crisis. Marginalized groups,
especially those in the Global South, face greater
exposure to climate risks and already suffer disproportionally
from its effects. Women and girls
are especially vulnerable due to systemic inequalities,
and climate change has the potential to deepen
these gender-based disparities.
Adapting to climate change has become a necessity
rather than a choice. However, young women
in Africa are often excluded from decision-making,
and cultural norms and lack of representation further
limit their participation in leading climate adaptation
efforts. At the same time, only 0.01 percent
of all worldwide funding supports projects
that address both climate change and women’s
rights (UNDP).
“Working in communities where climate
change continually worsens gender inequality
by destroying farmlands — the
primary source of income for many women
— has led to even greater hardships.
I have often wondered how to address
this situation. The training has provided
me with the tools to do so. The course
has enhanced my skills in tackling climate
change issues, considering both
current and future impacts, while maintaining
a gender-sensitive approach to
effectively build community resilience.”

Strengthening Women’s
Leadership in Climate
Adaptation
A gender-sensitive approach in climate policies
is urgently needed to ensure a more equitable
and effective response to climate change and its
effects. Including young women in climate decision-making
and funding female-led projects has
significant advantages, as these initiatives not only
tackle intersectional challenges but also often prioritize
inclusive, community-centered approaches
that address both social and environmental is-
sues. Young women bring unique perspectives to
climate action, making their leadership crucial for
effective solutions in the long term. To fully realize
these benefits, we need to overcome the barriers
of limited access to education, technology, and/
or financial resources. By prioritizing investment in
women-led initiatives, we can accelerate progress
towards the SDGs and empower women to leave
no one behind.
“The Climate Adaptation Finance
Module provided me with funding
knowledge, alleviating my longterm
worries about desperately
seeking funding opportunities in
climate change adaptation.”

What is a MAP?
A Micro Adaptation Project (MAP) is a smallscale,
solution-oriented initiative that addresses
localized climate challenges and puts the trainees’
learnings into practice to foster climate adaptation
in their communities. The projects should “spot
a challenge, find the solution” and align with the
SDGs, focusing on climate action and reducing inequalities.
Trainees are tasked with developing a
MAP abstract, proposal, and video pitch on their
proposed initiatives. By encouraging innovative,
scalable, and community-driven efforts, the MAPs
aim to enhance resilience among those most affected
by climate change.

The ASAL (arid and semi-arid lands) region in Kenya
faces the dual challenge of alternating droughts
and heavy rainfalls due to climate change, leading
to both water scarcity and crop flooding. The Drain
to Gain project addresses this by integrating sustainable
land management strategies, such as road
runoff water harvesting and buffering techniques,
to create a landscape that acts like a sponge, naturally
holding, cleaning, and draining water. This approach
not only adapts to the changing climate but
also educates and trains households in Makueni
County on climate-smart farming techniques, aiming
to build resilient communities with improved
agricultural production.

Regenerative Agriculture for
Climate Adaptation
This project supports women smallholder farmers
in adapting to climate change’s impact on agriculture
such as shifting weather patterns and soil
degradation. By introducing regenerative agriculture
practices that improve soil health, the project
increases crop yields by over 50%. Through
workshops, hands-on training, and the establishment
of a demonstration farm, participants learn
techniques such as minimal tillage and the use of
organic fertilizers. Having trained over 100 women
smallholder farmers, this initiative strengthens
food security, supports economic stability, and enhances
climate resilience, with outreach extending
to 10,000 more through educational campaigns on
social media. By equipping farmers with practical,
sustainable methods, the project contributes to
long-term agricultural improvement and community
well-being.

Moroccan cities face increasing climate-related challenges,
such as urban heat and flooding, which threaten
the well-being of inhabitants. Safaa’s project enhances
climate resilience by creating urban green spaces
and implementing green infrastructure interventions in
three neighborhoods. Through community involvement
and strategic planning, it establishes green roofs, vertical
gardens, urban gardening, and permeable pavement
systems. These measures mitigate urban heat,
reduce flooding risks, and improve air quality, thereby
contributing to a more sustainable urban environment.
Climate change poses significant risks to big cities,
and the role of women in building resilient urban environments
is crucial. This project addresses these challenges
by analyzing the capacities and limitations of
urban households in constructing resilient green cities.
It specifically focuses on the place of women in this
process, identifying how green cities can improve their
welfare. By doing so, the project contributes to climate
change adaptation and the promotion of gender equity
in urban planning.
