Women of the World Call for Urgent Action on Climate Change and Sustainability Solutions - a podcast by Jill Buck

Women bear a heavy burden from the impacts of climate change, particularly in low-income and developing countries where drought, flooding and unpredictable temperatures present difficult challenges for women that are responsible for providing food, water and firewood for their families. Until now, their voices were under-represented in global discussions about climate change.

From September 20th-23rd, 2013, a powerful cohort of women leaders from 35+ countries came together in New York to take bold action on climate change and craft a Women’s Climate Action Agenda at the first International Women’s Earth and Climate Summit. Tune in to hear from the Founder and Co-Director of the International Women’s Earth and Climate Initiative, Osprey Orielle Lake, as she discusses the outcome of this unprecedented gathering of women leaders.
