Our first panelist, Christina Kwauk, presents a valuable lesson: "Climate change may not discriminate, but its impacts do." She provides evidence about predictive factors for positive outcomes for women and girls. She particularly focus on education as a catalyst for gender equality. Our second panelist, Mande Limbu, presents her organization "Family Planning 2030"'s agenda, which focuses on advancing the right to contraception. Our final panelist, Catherine Lane discusses the value of comprehensive sex education for gender equality.
