​During this in-person event, women leaders in all their diversity will come together to share comprehensive and intersectional approaches and strategies to accelerate community-led climate solutions, advance a Just Transition, phase out fossil fuels, protect democracy, and uplift the climate justice movement. Critical topics include forest protection and reforestation, gender-responsive climate policies, fossil fuel resistance, food sovereignty, Indigenous and human rights; Rights of Nature; and strategic campaigns and policies for COP30 and beyond. There will also be a special presentation about WECAN’s ongoing campaigns and programs. Speakers to be announced soon!

As global leaders gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), we are calling on governments to take decisive action for global democracy and climate action. As authoritarianism grows worldwide, climate impacts are intensifying, with communities already facing devastating consequences. The window to prevent even worse and irreversible harm is rapidly closing, and government leaders must act now and heed the demands of global climate movements. In anticipation of COP30 in Belem, it is imperative to support the leadership of women climate leaders in all their diversity who are leading the way for a just and healthy future!
