A global campaign enabling women in all their diversity, to lead equitable climate action globally.
Driving awareness on the crucial role of women in accelerating climate action.
We are committed to ensuring women, in all their diversity, are able to make the critical decisions to save humanity and the planet. We do this by influencing governments, raising awareness of inequality, and collaborating with other organisations looking for greater equality in climate negotiations.
We campaign for the equal inclusion of women at top levels of all climate negotiations, and for the implementation of the updated Gender Action Plan (GAP) from COP25 in 2019. Specifically, we call on officials to deliver on their commitment to promote gender equality in the UNFCCC process.

Why we need women in positions of leadership.
The climate crisis is affecting us all every minute of every day, but the perspectives on, and decisions about, how to tackle it have been made mainly by men. They only represent a fraction of the world’s population.
Women continue to be marginalised from the political sphere because of gender stereotypes, lack of access and socio-economic-structural barriers. According to UN Women, more than 150 countries still have laws that discriminate against women.
Our Short Film
On 8 March 2022 - Women’s Day, in partnership with Clim8, Earth Minutes and Visionary Pictures, we released a short film. The film captures seven powerful voices that address the importance of a gendered narrative in climate change, leadership, indigenous rights and scientific research. The film was nominated for awards from The Earth Future Festivals and at the Lift-Off Global Network Session 2022.
