'Botswana women starkly exposed to climate change stress'

The study, whose initial phase has already mapped out climate change hotspots at the sub-national level, presents a gloomy picture in the climate-sensitive agriculture sector where less than 16% of women are employed with less than 40% land ownership rights across the country.

The study is being undertaken by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism in partnership with the Department of Gender Affairs through the support of the African Group of Negotiators Experts Support (AGNES) as well as UNDP Botswana.
