“…Evidence suggests the effects of climate change can compromise the immune systems of people living with HIV, increasing exposure to infectious diseases, disruptions in access to health care, and food insecurity. 47,[66][67][68][69][70][71][72] Family Planning and Population Health One of the key goals of climate adaptation policies is to limit human-derived greenhouse gas emissions. Evidence suggests climate change may exacerbate factors (e.g., socioeconomic mobility, education, employment, and land tenure) associated with uptake and access to family planning services.…”

Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) residing in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly vulnerable to climaterelated sexual and reproductive health (SRH) challenges, placing them at increased risk of poverty, food insecurity, school dropout, transactional sex, sexual violence, sexually transmitted infections, early marriage, and early childbearing. n There is an urgent need for increased research and climate financing to ensure adequate investments toward advancing climate adaptation and innovation to address the sexual and reproductive needs of AGYW living in LMICs.n Applying a rights-based, multilevel, multisectoral, and gendered approach to climate action can strengthen National Adaptation Plans of Action and improve the health and well-being of adolescent girls and young women living in LMICs and resource-constrained settings.n Leveraging community engagement through the inclusion of diverse stakeholders, such as national governments, multilaterals, policymakers, health care providers, researchers, and nongovernmental organizations and youth, in climate-related SRH research and policy can lead to more meaningful participation, deeper trust, and sustainable climaterelated SRH solutions in LMICs.

“…have not yet incorporated these interventions as priorities (Adaptation Fund, 2022;Green Climate Fund, 2022). Unless family planning and education are integrated into national climate adaptation plans, they will not be considered when allocating climate change adaptation funds in the future (Patterson et al, 2021).…”

How Can Girls’ Education and Family Planning Improve Community Resilience to Climate Change in the Sahel?

Population growth and climate change are currently the two greatest threats to food security in the Sahel region of Africa. The population of the countries that make up the Sahel is projected to nearly double by 2050, from 506 million to 912 million. Paired with the expected rise in temperature and increased frequency of extreme climatic events, these numbers could quickly overwhelm relief efforts. Strengthening human capital and economic stability are critical to prevent catastrophic suffering. This article recommends two evidence-based approaches that expand women’s autonomy and support their income-earning potential while building resilience to climate change. The first recommendation, would be greater investments in adolescent girls’ education and autonomy, including efforts to delay marriage and childbearing. The second calls for an improvement in the availability and quality of reproductive health services, with a special focus on voluntary family planning. These interventions can increase incomes, reproductive autonomy and gender equity which build community resilience and adaptability to climate change.

“…A smaller family improves women's health, infant nutrition, and access to schooling and employment prospects, while easing pressure on the environment. All contribute to greater resilience to climate change 106 , 107 and to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. 108 After a few decades, the lower population trajectory becomes a dominant determinant of sustainable wellbeing.…”

‘We have kicked the can down the road once again – but we are running out of road.’ – Rachel Kyte, Dean of Fletcher School at Tufts University. We, in our capacities as scientists, economists, governance and policy specialists, are shifting from warnings to guidance for action before there is no more ‘road.’ The science is clear and irrefutable; humanity is in advanced ecological overshoot. Our overexploitation of resources exceeds ecosystems’ capacity to provide them or to absorb our waste. Society has failed to meet clearly stated goals of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Civilization faces an epochal crossroads, but with potentially much better, wiser outcomes if we act now. What are the concrete and transformative actions by which we can turn away from the abyss? In this paper we forcefully recommend priority actions and resource allocation to avert the worst of the climate and nature emergencies, two of the most pressing symptoms of overshoot, and lead society into a future of greater wellbeing and wisdom. Humanity has begun the social, economic, political and technological initiatives needed for this transformation. Now, massive upscaling and acceleration of these actions and collaborations are essential before irreversible tipping points are crossed in the coming decade. We still can overcome significant societal, political and economic barriers of our own making. Previously, we identified six core areas for urgent global action – energy, pollutants, nature, food systems, population stabilization and economic goals. Here we identify an indicative, systemic and time-limited framework for priority actions for policy, planning and management at multiple scales from household to global. We broadly follow the ‘Reduce-Remove-Repair’ approach to rapid action. To guide decision makers, planners, managers, and budgeters, we cite some of the many experiments, mechanisms and resources in order to facilitate rapid global adoption of effective solutions. Our biggest challenges are not technical, but social, economic, political and behavioral. To have hope of success, we must accelerate collaborative actions across scales, in different cultures and governance systems, while maintaining adequate social, economic and political stability. Effective and timely actions are still achievable on many, though not all fronts. Such change will mean the difference for billions of children and adults, hundreds of thousands of species, health of many ecosystems, and will determine our common future.
