Graphic of baobab tree and title between two baobab trees

In Episode 8 of the Between Two Baobab Trees series, we will explore this intersection through the lens of gender equality and women's empowerment. For part one, we begin to understand how climate change disproportionately impacts women and girls, and why gender equality and women's empowerment is critical to the success of not just health and climate programming, but development programming at large.
