A Virtual Summit on International Women’s Day
On March 7, 2023, Women and Climate will convene for a virtual summit on International Women’s Day to spark conversations on BOLD topics. In this 1.5 hour session, attendees will hear about:
Additional topics such as climate justice, equity, biodiversity, women's health, youth, and more, will be explored through hot takes. We will also be inviting women-led startups to pitch. Attendees will celebrate with our global community and walk away with renewed inspiration, ideas, and solutions on tackling climate change. No climate experience necessary to attend.
What if women led _______? Insert blank with media, energy, AI, corporations, and finance. What would be different in the past and what would be different now? What can be done now to mimic women-centric outcomes while leadership transition is taking place?
POPULATION
Today, we have 8 billion people on the planet. Are we properly prepared for resource distribution when it comes to food and water? What challenges will we face on waste management and sewage? How does the decline in population growth impact everything? Is balance possible?
DEGROWTH MOVEMENT
Degrowth is a radical alternative to our current economical system. If we used well-being as the defining metric instead of GDP, what would humanity look like? Exploring alternative models provide new opportunities for rapid change.
WOMEN-CENTRIC LEADERSHIP
Speakers: Sweta Chakraborty, Heather Reams, Leila Toplic, Karen Sheffield
