Climate Change and SustainableDevelopment
Excessive GHG CO2 contributes to global
Warming of the planet (only 3.8% by Africa)
Increase in CO2 in the atmosphere = rise
in global temperature.

Saying : Environmental activist & ecofeminist Vandana Shiva
When we think of war in our times, our minds turn to IraqAfghanistan. But the bigger war is the war against the planet.This war has its roots in an economy that fails to respectecological and ethical limits.
In the same breath:A former weapons inspector in Iraq interviewed by the NewYork Times in2003 commented: I am more worried aboutglobal warming than I am of any major military conflict.

Importance of this campaign with regard toClimate Change
-To produce more vital oxygen and take in GHG CO2
-This natural process cools down the globe.
-Composting naturally reduces volume of waste with production of beneficialcompost. Less chemical fertilizer = less energy to manufacture same = lessCO2 emission = less Water pollution
-To increase water catchment capacity due to the favorable altitude of thetown.
- Low input with high output with the participation of all stakeholders

Gender dimension & impact of climatechange in Mauritius
Sea level mean rise (1998-2007) 2.1mm per year & average
temperature rise of 0.74C compared to 1961-90.
Decreasing trend in annual rainfall of around 8% over
Mauritius since the 1950s but paradoxically more frequenttorrential rains resulting in flash floods.
Women as wives and mothers are more prone to such impacts
e.g. flash flooding (lack of mobility), epidemics, droughts
(domestic chores)
Women are at the center of climate change & 70% of the worlds poor are
women, these women are more likely to suffer as a consequence of
climate change.

Lessons learned
Men, women and children are equally
concerned and conscious of environmentalmatters.
Women are by far more responsive to such
projects Need to shift from predominantly male
dominated hierarchy in decision making
bodies to an equal gender representation.
Educate a women = Educate a family Women must be prioritised in any actions and programmes to
address climate change
