Gender and community participation in the fight against climate change in North Togo: Issues of sustainable land and ecosystem management

This study analyzes the contribution of sustainable land and forest management to climate resilience in the Kara and Savanes regions of Togo. Based on surveys of 100 local cooperatives (60 in Savanes and 40 in Kara), it examines the differentiated participation of women, men, and youth, as well as that of community organizations, in the sustainable management of these natural resources. The results show that social inclusion and local governance strengthen land and ecosystem protection and enhance climate adaptation.
