Why Twitter Was All About Women And Climate Change Today
Did you know that women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change? Did you also know that gender equality is vital for the success of climate justice?
It’s International Women’s Day, and many took to social media to support the women who are fighting – and experiencing – the effects of climate change.
Here’s what Twitter had to say about climate change on #InternationalWomensDay2016:
