Gertrude Kenyangi is executive director of Support for Women in Agriculture and Environment in Uganda. With more than 20 years experience in forestry and biodiversity, she serves in several global policy spaces — including the Women and Gender Constituency of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Women and Gender Stakeholder Group of the U.N. Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
By investing in women and girls in disaster risk reduction efforts, both with capacity strengthening and resources, they can better adapt to and recover from disasters, and both nature and communities thrive.
