Nicola Sturgeon has told COP26 that climate change is a "feminist issue" and called for the voice of women to be heard more loudly when tackling it.
The First Minister was at the SEC for the summit's gender day, which will hear from a variety of women leaders and environment experts.
The SNP leader chaired a panel debate at the conference's main plenary hall and told delegates it was vital that women's voices were heard.
She was introduced on stage by Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, who told delegates: "When women succeed, the world succeeds".
Sturgeon said: "There is no doubt we must ensure that climate change is a feminist issue.
"We must make sure the experiences of women and girls across the world, so often disproportionately impacted by climate change, are understood as we devise the solutions.
"And me must make sure the voices of women are at the centre of creating and implementing the solutions to climate change.
"I was very proud last week to launch, in partnership with UN Women, the Glasgow Women's Leadership statement, which has already attracted support from governments, businesses and civic organisations across the world."
She added: "These are important times and this is of course an important discussion."
Earlier, Sturgeon told reporters: "We know the impact of climate change is felt disproportionately by women and children across the world, and often it's men who are devising solutions, which often don't reflect the real life experiences of women.
"So I think we need to get the voices of women heard much more loudly in this debate."
Pelosi - one of the most senior Democrats in Washington - arrived with a group of 21 other US politicians at the conference in Glasgow.
The speaker said this was the largest congressional delegation to have attended a climate summit so far.
Pelosi said addressing climate change was a matter of “justice and equality”.
She said: “We come here fresh from advancing the most ambitious and consequential climate and energy legislation of all time in our country.”
