Kenya's First Lady, Rachel Ruto, joined OAFLAD to launch a continent-wide campaign, #BuildingResilience of Women and Girls in the Face of Climate Change and Conflict. The initiative, announced at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, aims to address the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and girls and integrate their voices into decision-making.

• Five million women and girls in the Sahel alone face climate-induced hardships.
• Key organizations involved include OAFLAD and the African Union Commission.
• The campaign emphasizes that Africa, despite contributing less than 4% of global emissions, bears the heaviest burden of climate repercussions on women and girls.
