Climate change, food security and women farmers in Asia.
Climate change will affect all of humanity: men and women, young and old, rich and poor. If there’s one thing that looks past race, religion, age and income status, it’s the effects of climate change. Of course, let’s not overlook the other living organisms – all flora and fauna. The impact of our changing planet will affect them, too.
But these effects will be felt quite differently by women – female food producers in particular. Due to traditional gender roles that enforce that women collect water, wood for fuel, and care for family members, women farmers have very little opportunity to learn new skills, access development opportunities, or even attend to their own health needs.
In the midst of the expected (and unexpected) changes in climate variability and its impacts on anthropogenic systems – such as our water supply and food production – it is heartening to note that the preamble of the Paris Agreement stresses the importance of helping developing nations reduce emissions and cope through adaptation, from the smallest to the largest changes. However, organisations such as Oxfam have come out to say that the agreement falls short in protecting rural women farmers.

The Karakoram Anomaly Decoded
For decades, scientists have believed that glaciers in the Karakoram Range are defying the trend of those across the globe-resisting glacial melt due to human-induced global warming. But as we trek up the Karakoram's second-longest glacier in July, as the United Nations announces the world's hottest ever month on record, does the melting ice beneath our feet suggest the so-called Karakoram Anomaly is slowing? Or is there a ray of hope it will continue to delay the inevitable?
