Last night was our Women and Climate Austin November meetup! There was so much common ground and a plethora to learn from one another ??. This inspiring group of women: ?? Discussed their stories and backgrounds. Shared resources for job seeking, working, and ideas to engage people to take action who might be skeptical about climate change. ?? Talked about natural wonders to explore and protect. Shared outdoor adventures, hiking trails, and ?? water “hotspots” around beautiful #Austin! ?? Made meaningful connections with local passionates in the #climate and #sustainability space. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Last week, Gemeente Den Haag dedicated itself to climate action during De Haagse KlimaatWeek ?? It was an inspiring opportunity to explore how we can make our city more sustainable and future-proof. I had the pleasure of attending the Women and Climate event, hosted by Cristina Fonseca. The discussions were incredibly insightful, highlighting the unique role women play in driving climate solutions; I was particularly inspired by the emphasis on fostering inclusive collaboration and the stories of resilience shared by the attendees. It reinforced how crucial diverse perspectives are in building sustainable communities and tackling the climate crisis. What an incredible week filled with energy and collaboration! Together, we are building a climate-friendly future for The Hague. ??

Great turnout this morning as Women and Climate - #seattle toured the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery followed by a delicious and fun meal together. What a treat to meet more wonderful people in the #climate community, and see new connections made! Thanks to Asha Gupta, Ying Fam & Stephanie P. - it was a delight to collaborate with you on this event.

??? Highlights from Women and Climate BOLD 2024! ??? BOLD 2024 was filled with powerful insights and inspiring words from women leading the fight against climate change. Here's a quote from our Speaker, Asha Natalia Maharaj: ?? “Displacement does not affect everybody equally. The testimonies of people who are directly impacted often show that both the slow and rapid onset effects of climate change are negatively impacting the most basic rights of those who are already marginalized and racialized within those zones." - Asha Natalia Maharaj ?? Asha is the Senior Associate Research Analyst: Gender, Climate & Social Inclusion of SAEDI Consulting and we were honored to have her as our Speaker on the topic of Climate Displacement and Equity. Visit https://lnkd.in/ghvmMEM9 to catch the replay! Thanks to We Don't Have Time and Alight for supporting BOLD! #womenandclimate #bold2024 #bold #climatesolutions #wac
