In a new report issued on Wednesday, 18 November, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, shows how people, especially empowered women, could make a difference in the fight against climate change.
The State of World Population 2009, entitled Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate, was launched in London, Washington, D.C., Paris, Bangkok, Johannesburg, Mexico City and more than 120 other capitals worldwide.
UNFPA also released the report's youth supplement, At the Frontier: Young People and Climate Change, featuring profiles of youth already facing the challenges of a warming world.
