Women Sustainability and Justice. A call for Systemic Change

Celebrating World Environment Day

Wednesday, 25 June 2025
Join us for two engaging panels on women's leadership in environmental justice and nature-based solutions, gender-responsive climate policy and legal reform, and the importance of trust, unity, and moral leadership in climate governance.
---------
Panel 1 – Unequal Burdens: Gender, Climate, and the Structures of Injustice
Understanding the systemic roots of climate injustice and the disproportionate impact on women and marginalised communities and solutions envisioned, with obstacles and achievements.
Panel 2 – Women as catalysts: Leading systemic change for a just and sustainable future
Offering a values-based diagnosis of systemic injustice — emphasising the interconnectedness of all people and the spiritual consequences of inequality.
This is a call to dismantle unjust systems and build inclusive, grounded pathways, where women lead the transition to a just and sustainable world.
