Africa's ability to adjust to climate change is at risk. A new report warns that problems faced by women in farming are a major concern.
The report comes from NexGen Deutsche-Afrik a policy group working on sustainability in Africa and Germany.
It states that difficulties women encounter in agribusiness create significant hurdles for climate adaptation efforts across the continent.
These challenges are described as systemic barriers meaning they are deeply embedded in how things work.
The policy brief suggests that without addressing these issues Africa may not meet its climate resilience goals.
The organization stresses the need for urgent action to support women farmers.
This includes improving their access to resources and opportunities within the agricultural sector.
The findings emphasize the link between gender equality and environmental sustainability.
