In Anchorage, Alaska, a dedicated team of women is on a mission to protect the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales—an iconic population often called “canaries of the sea” for their vocalizations. From shore-based surveys to cutting-edge research, these passionate conservationists, supported by NOAA Fisheries, are working tirelessly to ensure the survival of these majestic creatures. Despite facing challenges posed by climate change, and underwater noise pollution, the Cook Inlet belugas remain a vital part of Alaska's ecosystem. With innovative monitoring programs, community outreach, and collaborative efforts, these women are not just safeguarding a species—they’re shaping a legacy.

Last year, as we set out a path to define our strategy for the coming years, we reached out to you—our partners, supporters and climate warriors—for your insights through consultations and a survey. Through this research, the most pressing challenge within the gender and climate nexus emerged: 👉 The strikingly low representation of women in climate negotiations and policy-making worldwide—a critical gap that #SHEChangesClimate is determined to address. 👈 It's quite clear to us that there's still much work to be done to turn these insights into meaningful action but the wheels are in motion and we’re most grateful to all those who offered their wisdom and we are excited to move forward.

As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year of challenges, opportunities, and progress in championing climate justice through a gendered lens. Women’s leadership has proven essential in driving bold solutions to the climate crisis, yet the fight for representation, funding, and equity continues. In 2025, #SHEChangesClimate we will work intensively to fill these gaps and amplify women’s voices, secure funding for gender-responsive climate solutions, and dismantle systemic barriers that hinder progress. The stakes are high, and the time to act is now! 🔗 Our Year-End Reflections: https://lnkd.in/dergBxVF

From crafting parametric heat insurance to becoming solar technicians, women across India are at the forefront of tackling climate challenges. In Maharashtra, they’re innovating climate-resilient farming; in Gujarat, transitioning from saltpan labour to renewable energy roles. 🍃 But it’s not just about adapting—it’s about leading. Initiatives like Self Employed Women's Association's Swachh Akash and Project Surya highlight the transformative potential of empowering women, despite systemic barriers like land rights, limited training, and gender-blind policies. The message is clear: #ClimateJustice needs #GenderJustice. #FairTransitionForAll #JustTransition #SHEChangesClimate Green Economy Coalition

Join us for the #GenderCaucus session on Saturday, 7 December at #COP16 #COP16Riyadh featuring women champions from #Guatemala #Peru #India #Iran #Morocco #Nigeria and renowned gender expert Lorena Aguilar While data reveals that women are the most impacted by drought due to pervasive and structural gender inequalities, at the same time many women are exercising leadership and resourcefulness in undertaking actions to adapt to drought and increase drought resilience in their communities. This session will present the key findings of a new research study commissioned by UN Convention to Combat Desertification and FAO to detect and highlight the most innovative and effective examples of women champions tackling drought in all corners of the world, and will share the perspectives from the women leaders themselves.

In the heart of Argyll, the Kilchoan Melfort Trust is rewriting the story of Scotland's landscapes. From rewilding woodlands to marine ecosystems, this conservation trust, founded in 2023, is on a mission to revitalise Scotland’s natural habitats. Led by passionate conservationists like Laura Dawson, the trust is documenting hundreds of species— and counting! Birds, mammals, moths, and even marine life are finding their home again. With a focus on ecological restoration, education, and fostering a spiritual connection with nature, Kilchoan is a living example of what’s possible when we prioritize the planet. 🔗 Edges of Earth's Andi Cross in conversation with Laura Dawson: https://lnkd.in/dawaJNWJ #SHEChangesClimate #EdgesOfEarth

"A just transition should take economic and social justice concerns into account. But there has been a lack of serious engagement with the gendered dimensions of justice in policies being developed for the just transition. This raises the risk that transition policies sustain or worsen gender (and other) inequalities. This is particularly true in the Global South, which is facing the greatest threats due to climate change and transition impacts." 📰 https://lnkd.in/d2D7JAwY 💡 This paper argues that ensuring a transition that delivers gender justice is both critical and urgent: https://lnkd.in/d-JE_RrS #FairTransitionForAll
