Climate Action Association in Jordan Participates in the National Forum “Women in Agriculture: From Beneficiaries to Partners”
Eng. Doa’a Al-Derabani, CEO of the Climate Action Association in Jordan (CAN), took part as a facilitator of one of the working groups at the national forum “Women in Agriculture: From Beneficiaries to Partners.” The forum was held under the patronage and in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Talal, and was organized by the Jordanian National Commission for Women on Sunday, 20 September 2026, at the Landmark Hotel in Amman.
The forum brought together women working in the agricultural sector, representatives of national institutions, experts, and relevant stakeholders to discuss the priorities and challenges facing women in agriculture, and to develop practical solutions and outcomes that strengthen their participation, protection, and resilience.
Eng. Al-Derabani facilitated the working group on the theme “Decent Work, Care, and Climate.” Discussions covered working conditions, occupational health and safety, safe transportation, the regulation of contractual relationships, and social protection for seasonal women workers, as well as protection from heat stress and the climate-related risks facing women in agricultural environments.
She helped steer the dialogue among women workers, experts, and representatives of the relevant authorities, and translated the issues raised into priorities and practical, actionable recommendations, with an emphasis on ensuring that solutions start from the realities and actual needs of women workers.
The participation of the Climate Action Association (CAN) in this national dialogue builds on its work in climate action, resilience, nature-based solutions, and the empowerment of local communities and women to face the impacts of climate change, as well as on strengthening the link between climate action and the developmental and social priorities of the agricultural sector.
