Global Leaders To Speak Out On Climate Change Solutions and Women\u2019s Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Public Event During the United Nations COP22 Climate Talks<\/strong><\/p>\n

SAN FRANSISCO BAY AREA, California (October 6, 2016)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 On November 14, 2016, women leaders from across the world\u00a0will unite to speak out against environmental and social injustice, draw attention to root causes of the climate crisis, and present the diverse array of strategies with which they are working to shape a healthy and equitable world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2018Women Leading Solutions on the Frontlines of Climate Change \u2013 Marrakech\u2019 is a public event organized by the Women\u2019s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International, to be held in downtown Marrakesh during the United Nations UNFCCC COP22 climate talks.<\/p>\n

This event is organized with the conviction that real forward movement to address climate change and meet the demands of the Paris Climate Agreement depends on the full and equal participation of women in all stages of decision making and implementation, and that the indispensable solutions required at this time will come from women taking action at the local, national, and international level. Women stand on the frontlines of climate change impacts, and now it is time for them to be at the forefront of all climate policy and action plans.<\/p>\n

Included in the discussion during \u2018Women Leading Solutions on the Frontlines of Climate Change \u2013 Marrakech\u2019 will be vital topics such as Indigenous rights; the connection between gender and environment; rights of nature; frontline movements; and women\u2019s leadership and calls for action within a climate justice framework.<\/p>\n

Policy makers and international advocates will speak alongside grassroots, Indigenous, grassroots and frontline women leaders from around the world. The event will be opened with traditional music of the Tamazight peoples, and highlight the voices and work of Moroccan women leaders throughout.<\/p>\n
