Women have 2.5x more likely to seek bold climate action

While the so -called strong are divided and conquered, the climate crisis is escalating. And what already gets the most difficult hits from her are women. Meanwhile, women are under severe representation in negotiation tables. But while Trump is dismantling the basics of the essential climate databases, female climate leaders are setting resistance. And when women lead the climate, their record is stronger.

Women and girls are disproportionately affected by climate change and weather -related disasters. They have less access to climate information, early warnings, agricultural advisory services, mobile phone technology and financial loans. And with the Trump administration the closure of services in, for example, the National Ocean and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), and the withdrawal of financial support from the research that mentions the “climate”, there is a close risk for women to hit even more.

On the rolling side, there are firm Supporting women’s allowing to lead climate in all sectors of society. Women are:

• 2.5 times more likely to ask their governments to be bolder
• 60 % more likely to use their voices for good
• Twice as likely to engage citizen

Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization Celeste Saulo put this in a major note at the international champions event on February 16.

“Women are very effective in mobilizing communities in case of disasters. They are in the front line to move forward with recovery. Women further maintain key knowledge in the management of natural resources and are the leading actors in adapting and mitigating the climate, ”she said.

So what does the climate female power look like? It is diverse and is gaining attraction.

WLOC – Women leading in climate

In 2021, The women who lead in the climate (WLOC) began at COP26 in Scotland as an initiative under climate and nature solutions in order to support women and girls globally who are leading the climate revolution. The WLOC has increased its global coalition of leadership women, including the government, business and civil society to direct ambitious climate action through quiet diplomacy, cooperative dialogues and the raising of the collective voices of women leading the fight for a sustainable and just future.

In New York, during the last September climate, more than 200 business management and policies from around the world gathered in the offices of the Era Energy Company. Among those who support the new coalition of women’s leadership that would officially be started in COP29 were climate veterans such as former UN executive secretary Espinosa, German envoys Jennifer Morgan, UK envoy Rachel Kyte and former French envoy Laurence Tubiana. Their meeting was motivated by the failure of the Azerbaijani Cop29 presidency to include even a single woman in a 28 -member initial organizational committee. After that and other reactions, more women were involved, but the Committee did not reach gender equality.

Representing women in leadership positions in police officers is not impressive. In the last 10 years, only one woman has held the position assigned by the country of the police: former Children for Environment Carolina Schmidt, who overseen COP25.

In the edition of March 7 of Elders Bulletin, former President and Prime Minister of Mongolia Elbegdor Tsakhia writes:

“Looking forward to the International Women’s Day, we need to explore new ways to ensure that women’s voices are heard in the realm of peace and security, which has traditionally been predominated by men, and at all levels of global leadership. Elders have a strong history to support gender equality and women in leadership, and we have recently supported 1 for 8 billion Campaign call: After 80 years of men’s leadership, it is time for a woman to serve as secretary general of the UN. “

In 2024, the WLOC partned with the business coalition we mean (WMBC) to expand its global reach. Guided by Catherine McKenna and Maria Mendiluse of WMBC, WLOC has been expecting strategic dialogues, high -impact events in COP and climate week, and viral social media campaigns that amplify the voices of women and girls globally. This culminated on the first day of COP29 in Baku when women and girls from all over the world brought messages about how they are acting on climate and seeking urgent, ambitious action now with the global social media campaign #womenleadingonClimate.

“Women are pressuring climate more ambitious action in negotiation rooms, board rooms, our communities and on the streets,” Catherine McKenna said. “At this critical time for climate action, we have to raise our voices even more. We have seen the power of women. When we come together: go further, sooner. “

This February women who lead in the climate began her Canadian chapter in Globexchange.

Other organizations that press for changes

Another example is Mothers’ rebellionA movement of mothers, guardians and allies in a growing global community in six continents:

“We will not give up the struggle for a present and a stable future for current and future generations. We want to be able to look at our children in the eyes and say that we really do everything we can.

Regarding International Women’s Day last year, circles with women who protested peacefully but with great power were formed in 90 cities in 3o countries.

Rebellmamnorna It began with mothers sitting in circles in cities in Sweden in 2022, holding marks with messages about the love of their children. The movement was started by Sara Nilsson Lööv, a psychologist. Protest protest has seen an increase in the countries and cities that participate, and the counties have received many media outlets. Now fathers are supporting women, creating circles, also in Sweden, using the same method.

Another powerful player is It changes climateA global movement that protects involvement and diversity at all levels of decision -making to address the climate crisis and to form a sustainable future for all.

In one of their statements by COP 29 they write:

“Of the 78 heads of the state that participated in COP29, only 8 were women – a shocking statistic that underlines the constant gender imbalance in global leadership. In national delegations, women’s participation has stalled at about 20% for years. This is not just a surveillance; Signs.

The climate crisis is far from neutral gender. Women and men are affected differently than the weather and climate, and therefore need gender -sensitive information and services.

So what difference in softening and adapting to the climate crisis can this diverse and increasing movement make? The answer is simple: it depends on whether men listen and support those who are more affected by climate change, the most engaged and have the best record.
