A campaign has been launched to advocate for the implementation of climate change actions in Nigeria and other African countries.
This is intended to address the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations.
The launch of the African women and girls demands, ahead of the twenty seventh united nations climate change conference, is expected to ensure that urgent actions are taken to reverse the trend.

Women and girls experience the greatest impacts of climate change amplifying existing gender inequalities and posing unique threats to their livelihoods, health and safety.
Over the years, efforts to fight climate change and assist vulnerable countries to cope with its impact, have intensified
But these impacts are still being felt by everyone particularly the vulnerable groups such as women, girls, the physically challenged and the aged.
As the impact of climate change continues to take a toll on vulnerable continents across the world, urgent actions are needed to reverse the trend to pave way for a more sustainable development
A gathering organised by the Women’s Environmental Program and Christian Aid hopes to accomplish this by presenting a list of six expectations and requests ahead of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change.
All regions of the world are affected by the negative impacts of climate change but developing nations are mostly affected due to their low adaptive capacity.
The push here is to ensure that this situation changes by raising voices at the climate change summit taking place, November in Egypt.
