Every year, the United Nations holds a summit on climate change, where it works to persuade countries large and small to give up fossil fuels. This annual gathering, now in its 21st year, is called the Conference of the Parties, COP21 and it began yesterday in Paris. 

Vogue magazine photographed the 13 women on the frontline  fighting climate change right now at the Conference of Parties;  and our Minister of Environment Amina Mohammed is one of them.
