This event is organized with the conviction that real forward movement towards climate justice depends on the full and equal participation of women in all stages of decision making and implementation – and that real change will come from women mobilizing and taking action at the local, national, and international level.<\/p>\n

Policy makers and international advocates will speak alongside grassroots, Indigenous and frontline women leaders from around the world, including some of our own HAF members (biographies below).<\/p>\n
