Multiple choice questions: 1

The Waste Concern organisation in Bangladesh is working with women to develop gender-sensitive climate-responsive livelihoods through its composting programme. The programme trains women to compost food scraps and other organic waste, which helps to reduce methane emissions and improve soil fertility. The women then sell the compost to farmers, which provides them with a sustainable income.

The programme has been successful in reducing methane emissions and improving soil fertility. It has also created jobs for women and helped them to become more resilient to climate change. For example, the women are now able to grow more food on their own land, which helps them to feed their families and earn an income.
