Female leaders in the climate movement
Please join us for a Panel Discussion highlighting the experiences and perspectives of female leaders in the climate movement from around the world. This event, hosted collaboratively by Rhodes Women and Gender Minorities (RWGM) and the Rhodes Environment and Climate Action Hub (REACH), aims to facilitate deeply interdisciplinary discussions pertaining to the intersection of gender and environmental justice, female leadership in the climate space, and the crucial work of amplifying female, genderqueer and non-binary voices to address the climate crisis.
This two hour event will include two separate panel discussions covering a diverse range of topics, as well as opportunities for live Q&A.
Our panel of diverse and international speakers includes:
Dr. Katharine Wilkinson (USA) – Principal writer and editor in chief of Project Drawdown, strategist, author and public speaker
Huan Ni (China) – Founding director of the Green Light Year and previous senior consultant to WWF
Dr. Zinta Zommers (Canada) – Author of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change, UN advisor, Paris Agreement negotiator
Dr. Lisa Schipper (UK) – Researcher of Social Vulnerability to Climate Change, University of Oxford
