Action on Climate, Emphasis on Equity

Episode 29

Why are women vital to addressing climate change? Studies show that investing in women and girls will lead to more effective reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions, and that countries with greater representation of women in government are more likely to develop rules to fight climate change. The time for equity in the climate action space is long overdue, but there is hope on the horizon.

In this episode of #RFBreakthrough we’ll learn from climate action leaders working in the space today. While their methods and focus areas are different, their goals are similar: inform, lift, and create opportunity for girls, women, and the diversity of populations that don’t yet have a seat at the climate table.

This event was broadcast across The Rockefeller Foundation’s social media pages Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube on March 27th at 10:00 AM ET.
