The crucial role of women in accessing Water, developing agriculture (Earth), energy supply (Fire), and combating climate change (Air). Through a conversation with women from African countries or engaged in partnerships with these countries, the session aims to deepen the role of women in valuing essential natural resources for development (water, land/agriculture, air/climate, fire/energy) and understand the barriers they face in accessing these resources due to the strong discrimination faced by women, girls, and children in their contexts.
