Forests are vital to tackling climate change. But if we are to succeed in our efforts to save the Earth, we must think beyond conservation, biodiversity and the number of planted trees. We must make gender equality a core business.

As Earth Hour approaches on Saturday, when people around the world switch off their nonessential lights from 8.30pm, wherever they are, for an hour to raise awareness of climate change, we must turn our attention to the role gender equality plays.
