Women and environment experts have raised concern over the absence of women in the discourse and debate on climate change and disaster risk reduction, both of which are global mainstream issues that are currently impacting the entire world. The involvement of women in areas of environmental management and governance should not be perceived as an afterthought. Women's roles are of considerable importance in the promotion of environmental ethics.
Invited to the Third Global Congress of Women in Politics and Governance are female and male parliamentarians, decision-makers in national government, environment organizations/agencies, youth leaders and media practitioners, funding/donor agencies and organizations.
