The Women's Climate Action Agenda argues for transformative change and analyses the root causes of the environmental destruction and social injustice and offers recommendations and alternative solutions to the climate crisis. These include that global climate change needs to be stopped and the rights of nature protected. The paper also argues for the democratisation of food, agriculture, and seeds and the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. Other recommendations include: transform extractive, unjust, status-quo economics into new, socially just and environmentally sustainable economics and promote women’s rights and women’s leadership in all steps of climate change adaptation and mitigation. The Agenda was drafted with initial input from more than 100 international women leaders during the 2013 International Women's Earth and Climate Summit.
