Women’s Earth and Climate Caucus

Primary tabs

Please join the Women’s Earth and Climate Caucus (WECC) on Friday January 27th from 7:00 to 9:30 at the Corte Madera Town Center Community Room for an exciting report back event. While it is not surprising that the results of COP17 lack the ambition and urgency we need to truly address the climate crisis, women across many sectors demonstrated remarkable leadership--offering us courage and hope. Through stories and photographs, hear about women-led NGOs, businesses, and government and grassroots organizations on the forefront of climate change and their innovative solutions. 
Additionally, throughout COP17, the Women's Earth and Climate Caucus -- as part of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature -- held meetings, panels and actions advocating for a systemic alternative framework that acknowledges that Nature in all its life forms has the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles. We are now preparing for the Rio +20 Earth Summit. Come learn about the groundbreaking Rights of Nature work, women who are leading the way locally and internationally, and WECC plans for 2012!

“Women are living on the frontlines of climate change, and are ready to be active partners in dealing with climate change. If the international community is serious about addressing climate change, it must recognize women as a fundamental part of the climate solution.”
