Climate Wise Women is a global initiative to promote women's leadership on climate change and to give a
human face and voice to this complex issue.
Our Climate Wise Women speaking events present the stories of women leaders from regions affected by
climate change in their own voices. We invite local guests to comment and respond with locally relevant
issues and connections in a panel discussion format. We celebrate women's leadership and provide a
springboard for collaboration and mutual support.
After completing a successful North American tour in April 2010, Climate Wise Women is already planning events in August and November.
Stay tuned for details on upcoming activities, reports from past adventures, FUNdraising initiatives, and other tidbits of interest.
“The solution to climate change is to engage with people personally. To build connections and
friendships and talk to them in person, and to answer their questions and fears…all the big
social movements in history have been through people personally connecting with each other.”
