"Mr President, discussion of women and climate change is a relatively new phenomenon, although, in view of the fact that it is women who are mainly responsible for making decisions in connection with consumption and household activities, and also of the fact that it is women who are generally the more active representatives of civil society, I think much greater attention should be given to this subject. Today, I would like to underscore how women could be still more involved in work and action to combat climate change.
Firstly, we should strive to increase the number of women who study technical subjects, for example. This will not only allow them to gain valuable knowledge and become experts, but it will mean they will be employed in sectors which are directly involved with climate change and will increase the share they have in making key decisions in this area.
Secondly, I strongly support the idea of creating targeted policies aimed at ensuring the development of entrepreneurship in a general sense in the context of equal access of women and men to jobs and the green economy.
Thirdly, I would like to point out that alongside long-term strategies, changes also need to be made as quickly as possible to give women easier access to loans and, in particular, to micro-credits. Through their determination and innovative approach, women who have access to micro-credits, insurance systems and services will play an extremely important role in developing the green economy and mitigating the effects of climate change."@en1
