Only 19% of delegations in COP climate negotiations are led by women. Recognizing the urgent need to elevate women's leadership in climate action, we partnered with The New York Times for a series of impactful initiatives during #ClimateWeekNYC. The partnership culminated in a compelling panel discussion that explored the critical role women play in driving climate solutions and the importance of ensuring their voices are heard at all levels of decision-making. Our Vice President, Alexandra Palt, led a powerful discussion with changemakers like Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, Nidhi Pant, Dr. Bridget Burns and Dr. Auma Obama, alongside 120+ inspiring leaders. Together we discussed: ✅ Overcoming obstacles to advance women-led climate solutions ✅ Scaling up gender-inclusive approaches for a greener future ✅ Leveraging women's leadership to drive more effective climate action By providing women with mentorship and resources, such as the Women Climate Collective program in India, we empower women to become key actors in their community and shape a more sustainable future. Because when women lead, positive change follows. 💪 Check out highlights from the event in New York! 📸 #WomenAndClimate #ClimateAction

Nidhi Pant witnessed climate change begin to impact her hometown in the Indian Himalayas over 20 years ago. She saw firsthand how women were most affected - a pattern seen globally, with the United Nations recognizing that women bear the brunt of the climate crisis despite having less say in the solutions. Through the Women Climate Collective we support emerging women leaders, like Nidhi Pant and Heeta Lakhani, to break down barriers, amplify their voices and unlock their full potential. For #ClimateWeekNYC we’re partnering with The New York Times to shed a light on the importance of empowering female-led climate action.

Happy #InternationalBeautyDay! 🌟   At Fondation L’Oréal, we believe in the power of beauty to transform lives.    For a decade, our Beauty for a Better Life program has been making a tangible difference in the lives of women across France with the help of our NGO partners. With #SocioEsthetics initiatives like our Mobile Care & Wellness Center, and the Beauty Salons in collaboration with L'Oréal France, we offer sanctuaries for those facing social challenges and living in precarious conditions. We're convinced that #InclusiveBeauty plays a vital role in helping these women regain their self-esteem and rediscover their place in society.    Have a look at this year’s #BeautyForABetterLife highlights 📸👇
