The Women’s Global Call for Climate Justice Campaign
#WOMENCLIMATEJUSTICE
Women and girls from every region of the world are creating a mass movement for climate justice.
The Women’s Global Call for Climate Justice is a global campaign organized collectively by a group of regionally diverse women’s rights and feminist organizations brought together by the urgent need for just action on climate change.
Launched on July 14th 2015, the campaign aims to encourage actions from women’s groups, feminist initiatives and allied organizations in all regions, countries, cities and communities around the world. These coordinated actions were critical last year in the lead up to COP21 and now, post-COP21, it is even more important to continue implementing actions in order to ensure climate justice around the world.
With the support of thousands of individuals and organizations as well as coordination from the Campaign’s Coordinating Committee, the campaign is mobilizing individuals – From educational workshops and film screenings to concerts and marathons, all in the name of climate justice, the Women’s Global Call for Climate Justice is demanding change.
The campaign encompasses all of the complexities of climate change especially the interlinkages between climate change and gender with a focus on the following six themes: energy, economy, solutions, survival, power, and climate justice.
