In a keynote address at the launch of the International Gender Champions Climate Impact Group, Celeste Saulo, secretary-general of the WMO, stated that women and men are affected differently by weather and climate, and therefore need gender-sensitive information and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since taking office at the start of 2024, Saulo has stated that one of her priorities is to foster greater diversity within the WMO, ensuring equitable representation across gender, regional and cultural lines. She is committed to implementing the WMO Gender Equality Policy which was updated in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Many of WMO\u2019s programs to strengthen climate adaptation seek to address the barriers faced by women and marginalized communities in accessing resources and decision making tools. For instance, the Fiji Meteorological Service \u2013 in line with government policy \u2013 is working to mainstream gender in the provision of early warning systems thanks to the support of partners like Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saulo continued, \u201cI am determined to use my voice as an international gender champion to ensure that gender considerations are mainstreamed in climate policies. We have no time to lose. We stand at the intersection of inequality and climate change, and our strategies must reflect the urgency of the times<\/p>\n\n\n\n
