Feminist Climate Conference (Webinar)
Climate change is as much an economic, human security, and human rights issue as it is an environmental concern. How can the feminist movement influence climate policy?
About the event
Feminist Climate Conference will explore the role of women and non-binary persons in climate resilience and discuss the different needs from a gender-inclusive perspective. The project aims to boldly lift the voices of women and non-binary persons in Europe.
By considering the contributions of women and non-binary persons as decision makers, and elevating their position in all leadership aspects, we might still have an actual chance at saving the planet. We need all voices to be heard, in order to win this battle.
