<p>The global climate crisis is a major threat to girls' education, sexual and reproductive
health and rights (SRHR) and gender equality. SRHR, including voluntary family planning,
and girls' education have wide-ranging benefits for individuals and societies, including
supporting their adaptive capacity and resilience to climate change. The UK is a proud
defender of SRHR and champion of the right of all girls to twelve years of quality
education. The UK is committed to delivering an inclusive COP26 that advances gender
equality within climate action and finance. Our recently published COP Presidency
paper 'Priorities for Public Climate Finance' sets out gender-responsive climate finance
as a UK priority, which we are championing through our COP26 and G7 presidencies.</p>
