Climate change and gender equality are two of the greatest social justice challenges of our time.
About this event
Across the world, climate change has the greatest impact on those who are the poorest, most reliant on natural resources, or least able to respond to natural disasters. Poor women and girls are hit first and hardest by climate catastrophes and weather extremes, with women being the least likely to recover financially from climate disasters such as floods, fires, drought, landslides and hurricanes.
Without radical change, we are heading towards a global major extinction of animals and plants, weather extremes, degraded land and polluted air. Now more than ever, the key to tackling climate change and gender inequality is understanding the myriad ways in which these two issues are interlinked.
Hosted by the Women’s Equality Party, this panel event will bring together leading experts and activists across civil society, academia and policy sectors to discuss the timely question: Is climate change a feminist issue?
Speakers will include the Women's Environmental Network; Extinction Rebellion; Black Environment Network; Mothers Rise Up; the Women's Equality Party and more to be announced.
Panellists will be discussing questions such as: Is climate change a man-made problem with a feminist solution? What are the links between consumerism, patriarchy and climate change? What is environmental racism, and why should feminists be talking about it? What would a feminist solution to the climate crisis look like?
Join us for a thought-provoking and inspiring evening!
