Women barely feature in negotiations in Egypt despite bearing the brunt of climate change.
Shirley Djukurna Krenak is attending COP27 to speak on the importance of indigenous women's knowledgeToo few women are participating in COP27 climate negotiations, charities, activists and politicians have warned.
She said that women understand "what it means to live in community", and therefore what it means to care for others and the natural world. The male skew among leaders reflected a broader trend across the delegation teams that countries have sent. Analysis by the BBC of the participant list found that less than 34% of country negotiation staff were female. Some teams were more than 90% male.
This was a sentiment echoed by Rep. Kathy Castor, chair of the US Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. She told the BBC at COP27 that women's presence was vital.
