The climate crisis is a leadership crisis. Women are ready to unite, step up and address this crisis by working together, raising climate ambition at political level and scaling up solutions on the ground.
This year SHE Changes Climate, Project Dandelion and partners invite decision-makers, stakeholders and passionate individuals to address this emergency with renewed vigour. It is time to unlock the potential of women to change climate for the better. Join us to continue growing the climate movement and unlock the power of feminine leadership and collective action on 21 November 2023.
What to expect:
- Listen to a diversity of perspectives in relation to the four shifts needed for a systemic transformation: Energy, Finance, Nature, Inclusion and Diversity.
- Listen to leaders from across the environmental movement as they share their vision for an inclusive and climate-safe future
- Learn about the most urgent solutions and actions needed from leaders to transform society in all sectors of the economy
- All recommendations will be cross-fertilized and collated into a collective statement that will be made available to media and decision-makers after the Summit and during COP28.
The Summit is an inclusive event across identities and the gender spectrum. This event will run for the whole day. There will be multiple sessions, attendees can hop on and hop off throughout the day. It is free to attend and will be held across multiple time zones via Zoom and live-streamed on the SHE Changes Climate Youtube channel.
