With just 5 days left to nominate for the Fin-Erth Women in Climate Awards, we wanted to share a few quotes from some of our sponsors and nominating partners to remind you all WHY these awards recognizing and supporting women in business, finance and innovation are so important. "The representation of women founders in India is generally low, and within the climate sector, it's almost negligible. We are deeply committed to changing this narrative by actively supporting initiatives that empower and elevate female founders and leaders in the climate space and so are proud to be a nominating partner for the Fin-Erth Women in Climate Awards" Saksham B. Priya Shah The Sustainability Mafia "At Nairobi Climate Network, we see firsthand that while women-led businesses make up a significant portion of our membership, there are still critical barriers when it comes to recognition and support. As a nominating partner for the Fin-Erth Climate Awards, we are committed to shining a spotlight on the exceptional work of female founders and women-led initiatives within our network. These awards provide a platform to empower and elevate their contributions, ensuring that the women who are driving climate solutions receive the recognition and support they deserve to continue making an impact." Nairobi Climate Network Flavia Howard "Africa is on the front lines of the climate crisis, and the leadership of women in this space is crucial for driving sustainable solutions that resonate globally. At Women Who Build Africa, we are proud to support the Fin-Erth Women in Climate Awards, which highlight the powerful role women play in addressing the climate crisis. Our community is composed of trailblazing founders who are creating impactful solutions, operators who are executing these visions, and investors who believe in the future of African-led climate initiatives. Together, we are committed to amplifying the voices and impact of African women on the global stage." Women Who Build Africa "Supporting The Fin-Erth Climate Awards is deeply meaningful to us because we know firsthand the incredible impact that women can have when they step up to address climate challenges. Around the globe, women in business and finance are creating innovative solutions and pushing boundaries to build a more sustainable world. Yet, too often, their contributions go unnoticed. — Christine Amour-Levar Helena Wasserman Investors for Climate "Celebrating women pioneers in mining is about more than recognition—it's about acknowledging the groundbreaking innovations they bring to a traditionally male-dominated industry. The Fin-Erth Women in Climate Awards will only enhance this narrative and push the needle towards a more sustainable future.” Prospect Innovation Donna Kitsos Vivek Salgaocar Now together let's identify and shine a spotlight on the women from across the world who deserve the recognition! 🌎 Nominate Here: https://lnkd.in/eqMwM3r7

REGISTER at: www.bit.ly/awd2024 Theme: "African Women Rooted in Climate Change Awareness: Celebrating African Women Leading the Climate Change Revolution." Event Date: Wednesday, July 31st, 2024 Event Time: 17:00 - 20:00 (5 PM - 8 PM) CAT/GMT+2 How much do you know about Climate Change and its effects? The earth's life-sustaining capacity is diminishing due to human-induced environmental changes, necessitating urgent action. Climate Change poses severe health risks and disrupts ecosystems, prompting a crucial need for heightened awareness and decisive measures. The COP28 meeting held last year in the UAE underscored the global urgency for climate action. In response to this urgency, the African Union has taken significant strides by formulating the ‘Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032). The objective of this Strategy and Action plan is to provide support to the most vulnerable communities and groups, addressing their specific challenges in responding to the adverse impacts of climate change. It also underscores the significance of social inclusion, recognizing the pivotal roles played by African women, youth, and Indigenous People as catalysts for change in shaping and propelling climate responses across various levels. “African Women Rooted in Climate Change Awareness" stands as a tribute to the extraordinary endeavors of African women leading the charge in climate change awareness and action. Throughout July 2024, from the 1st to the 31st, we will illuminate the collective influence wielded by 31 African women, highlighting their contributions to fostering climate resilience and promoting sustainable practices. In a world grappling for solutions, these women epitomize the resilience and ingenuity deeply embedded in African heritage. We are resolute in our commitment to inclusivity, going green, and harmonizing our voices with those of exceptional African women in this realm. Through this event, We aim to enhance awareness about the current climate situation and facilitate impactful conversations, educating more Africans on measures to fortify our climate resilience with the assurance that this will galvanize greater numbers of Africans to undertake meaningful actions.

At The Aspen Institute, we recognize how the climate crisis disproportionately impacts women and girls around the world, exacerbating inequalities and injustices. This Women’s History Month and in every month of the year, we seek to empower and uplift the voices and women and girls working in climate. The following book, podcast, and discussion recommendations center the intersection between women and the climate crisis, addressing geography and gender, energy justice, ecofeminist, anti-racism, and more! In Women and Climate Change: Examining Discourses from the Global North, Nicole Detraz asks where women in the global North figure in the picture, what that means, and why it matters. Interviewing women living in the global North who work in the climate change sphere, Detraz examines the crucial links between notions of climate change and gender—in particular, how women are portrayed in climate change debates. Her book offers the suggestion, and the hope, that identifying connections between ideas of gender and climate change might also alter our vision of a livable future. In Love Your Mother: 50 States, 50 Stories, and 50 Women United for Climate Justice, Mallory McDuff lifts up the stories of women working toward a viable future. As a mother and a professor of environmental education, McDuff wanted to give her two daughters and her students a road map to engage in climate justice in their communities, rather than be left feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the problem. In Diversifying Power, energy expert Jennie Stephens argues that the key to effectively addressing the climate crisis is diversifying leadership so that anti-racist, feminist priorities are central. By highlighting the creative individuals and organizations making change happen, Diversifying Power provides inspiration and encourages transformative action on climate and energy justice. In Mother of Invention, former Irish president Mary Robinson, comedian and writer Maeve Higgins, and series producer Thimali Kodikara dig into the biggest climate issues of our time with love, laughter and memorable storytelling. The podcast series gives focus to the stories of black, brown and indigenous women and girls who have been innovating from the front lines of climate change for generations — all over the world! At Aspen Ideas Climate, Aspen Future Leader Alumni Wawa Gatheru spoke on the session “Women and Girls are a Critical Climate Solution”, where she joined other panelists to discuss the burden on women and girls from the climate crisis—particularly in securing resources like food and water—and how their innovation and ingenuity can be major contributors to climate solutions. #FutureLeaderClimateFellows #FutureLeadersClimateSummit #WomensHistoryMonth #AspenIdeasClimate #ecofeminism #womenandclimate #climatejustice #energyjustice #womeninclimate

This week sees the celebration of World Environment Day, on June 5th, and World Ocean Day, on June 8th, both valuable reminders of the need to mitigate the impact of climate change and ensure a healthy planet for future generations. Research shows that women are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis, being 14-times more likely than men to die in a climate change-related disaster. Yet, women are underrepresented in national and global climate negotiating bodies, making up only 34% of delegates at the recent COP28, the annual UN-organised conference on climate change. Women are also underrepresented in environmental and conservation sciences, accounting for only 33% of the authors on recent reports for the International Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading scientific body on climate change. If we are to find meaningful solutions to protect our environment and oceans, then it is crucial that the unique experiences and perspectives of women are heard. Indeed, several studies have already shown that climate-related community projects initiated by women are more effective and have better outcomes than projects implemented without a woman’s contribution. For example, Wangari Maathai, who pioneered reforestation and women’s rights in Kenya, made the link between deforestation and the livelihoods of local communities. She chose to educate and empower women as an effective solution for reforestation. Jane Goodall, who has worked tirelessly throughout her career to protect chimpanzees, has also focused on motivating and educating local communities to restore forest habitat. The success of their visions has been achieved by collaborating on a grassroots level, demonstrating that women are more than capable of being part of the solution to the problems they are facing. At Mothers in Science, we want to inspire the next generation to protect the environment, by sharing stories of some of the amazing women who are fighting to save our planet and their future. This week, we have republished the #SciMomJourneys shared over past years by incredible mothers in STEMM who are making a difference to our planet and protecting our oceans (check our previous posts). You can also check out our Traiblazers webpage, where we share the biographies of famous mothers in STEMM who have made pioneering contributions to our environment.

♀ Women hold the solutions to the biodiversity and climate crises♀ Women are amazing. They steward the land, unite communities, defend forests, and protect oceans. Yet, their voices are often excluded from conversations, and their perspectives are diminished in solutions. The family photo at #COP29 remains stubbornly and distressingly the same year after year. Of the 78 world leaders, only 8 are women. Our solution? Bring women leaders together. In less than two weeks, The Nature Conservancy is hosting women leaders from around the Asia Pacific and Africa for Nature’s Leading Women 2024. This program connects women with the resources, opportunities, and support they need to develop and lead their own climate solutions. Read more about the impact of Nature’s Leading Women at nature.org/leadingwomen, and please take a moment to watch the video below, which shares the story behind this important movement. #TheNatureConservancy #NaturesLeadingWomen #InspiringWomen #WomenInNature

Giving Women Conference - A conference of Hope and Action Now is the moment to amplify the message and act Ten days have passed since Giving Women hosted its 11th Conference on Women at the frontline of Climate Action and Innovation”. It has taken me till now to process the incredible richness of the discussions which included storytelling, knowledge sharing, highlighting of innovative and courageous solutions most often created by women facing the climate crisis in their daily lives. The panellists and moderators, from over 25 countries, included a wide variety of stakeholders: frontline women, activists, entrepreneurs, experts and policy makers. Their call to action was for greater collaboration, access to funding, knowledge sharing. They also highlighted the need to find ways to replicate the solutions and include the voices of frontline women in the strategic planning to adapt and mitigate the environmental crisis which our planet and its communities are living. There were many inspiring insights which we have been reflecting on with Giving women members and partners. Here are some of our favourites take-aways: - “The climate crisis is a communication crisis” Mary Robinson, Project Dandelion - “Turn data into dialogue” Ronda Carnegie, Project Dandelion - “Only 4.4% of climate finance is prioritising gender” Barbara Buchner, Climate Positive Initiative - “The world’s wealthiest 1% have a higher carbon footprint than the world’s poorest 66%” Christoph Courth, Pictet - “Stories are data with a soul” Mojgan Sami, California State Universtiy, Fullerton - “Governments need to be held accountable” Nasha Cuello Cavelier, Sustainability without Borders - “Accountability starts at home” Lawrence Haddad, GAIN - “The gap between community action and the corridors of power need to be shrunk” Richard Pearshouse, Human Rights Watch - “A bank account is not financial inclusion” Mary Ellen Iskenderian - “Bundling financial service is one solution” Marry Ellen Iskenderian - “Look for “benefit multipliers” in your investments” Kali Taylor - “Women are not little men” Shobhita Soor, Legendary Foods - “Embrace the complexity” Deborah Vorhies - “We are accountable for the freedom we are given, use it wisely” Nasha Cuello Cuvelier Now is the time to get connected and amplify our work. Now is the moment, where we must really walk our talk and manifest the enlightened leadership we saw modelled at our conference. It is time to show that we are truly more than the sum of our parts. Let’s build on the momentum and dynamism that was generated from the conference and move to the action phase of the “inform, reflect and act” model central to the Giving Women conference and mission at large. Together we can make things happen - We believe in the power of one and the magic of many

Women are leading the charge on climate—and at every stage of life! At #COP29 this week, a groundbreaking moment took center stage: the launch of Women Leading On Climate, a powerful network of women and girls committed to creating real, impactful climate solutions and driving a new era of leadership. According to the campaign, women are: 2.5 times more likely to demand that governments take action on climate 60% more likely to use their voices for the greater good As Solitaire Townsend’s latest Forbes article shows, women over 50—climate icons like Wangarĩ Maathai and Jane Goodall—have been laying the groundwork for decades. Their leadership only grows more impactful with age, experience, and resilience. These incredible women are urging us all: invite them to speak, ask their opinions, and listen to their wisdom.

Over-50's Women ROCK Climate Action! In honour of my 50th year, and the #womenleadingonclimate campaign launched here at #COP29, I've compiled a list of incredible women, all over-50-years-old, who uphold the world. It's not definitive in any way, but I'm so pleased to acknowledge as many fellow middle-life solutionists as I can. Thank you 🙏 And if there are obvious names missing, it's because I assumed that incredible woman was under-50! 😜 https://lnkd.in/em7qkqUa María Mendiluce Sandrine Dixson-Declève Farhana Yamin Ann Tracy Bryony Worthington Gail Uncontrollable Wildfires Whiteman Catherine McKenna Susan McPherson Jennifer Morris Wanjira Mathai Mindy Lubber Winona LaDuke Hunter Lovins Sophie Lambin 🪁 Hannah Jones Diane Holdorf Katharine Hayhoe Fiona Harvey Christiana Figueres Helen Clarkson Dawn Wright, PhD #GreenerTogether

Launched at #ClimateWeekNYC, the Women Leading On Climate network - spearheaded by women in senior positions across business, government and civil society - aims to accelerate progress on climate action globally, write María Mendiluce, CEO of We Mean Business Coalition, and Catherine McKenna, founder and CEO of Climate and Nature Solutions. Women have been a major force behind our most significant milestones in combating climate change. Leaders like Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of UNFCCC UN, Laurence Tubiana, head of the European Climate Foundation, and Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, were pivotal in securing the #ParisAgreement. In the private sector, companies with more women in leadership roles are taking stronger climate actions and showing higher transparency in emissions disclosures. With global challenges escalating, the importance of female representation cannot be understated.
