Climate change is more than just an environmental concern; it’s an amplifier of existing societal structures and disparities.

“Camber Collective played a pivotal role in global climate discourse, notably at the African Climate Summit in Kenya, COP28 in Dubai, and the New York Climate Week. We not only showcased our sector’s achievements but also actively contributed to panel discussions that emphasized the critical intersections of climate change with agriculture in Africa, gender equality, economic development, and migration. These engagements underscored our commitment to integrating comprehensive strategies that address both environmental sustainability and social equity, reinforcing our dedication to spearheading community-led innovative solutions for climate action and sustainable development across the globe.

As our Climate Sector lead, Dr. Chidibere X. Ikejemba says above and also here: “Climate change is more than just an environmental concern; it’s an amplifier of existing societal structures and disparities. Within the geographic context of Africa, the confluence of gender and climate has profound implications for vulnerability, resilience, and empowerment. Women’s vital roles in agriculture, artisanal mining, and market sectors expose them directly to the whims of an unpredictable climate, magnifying vulnerabilities. The very framework of climate action must center a gender-inclusive lens, wherein women are not only the beneficiaries of climate policy, but its architects—driving innovation and holistic solutions.”
