Feminist Climate Ambassadors – Fourth Training

About the Event: 

Our aim is to build bridges across Europe for feminist climate change advocates and activists. This training will equip selected Feminist Climate Ambassadors with the tools needed to get their message through in their own region and media, to support sustainable and feminist community-level impact across Europe. In addition, the training provides space for more political level conversation on the intersections of gender and climate change. 

The fourth meeting is all about taking stock as we head into summer and start preparing the study trips to Brussels and Glasgow. Participants will discuss the European Parliament’s Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025, as well as Goals for COP26
