Connected Women Leaders

What’s the connection between food, holistic health, and social equity? Here's how the impacts of climate change are disrupting our food systems, causing higher prices and health crises 🔗: https://lnkd.in/dvjAMbeE This disruption leads to global food insecurity and resource scarcity, particularly in vulnerable communities, disproportionately affecting women who work tirelessly to keep their families safe and nourished. So how can we tackle these challenges head-on and lead the change? By embracing innovation, education, and sustainable solutions rooted in indigenous knowledge, we can cultivate a sense of purpose and hope. Done in collaboration with Project Dandelion, in this episode of ‪#SustainableTeaWithShreya 🎙 ‬, President and CEO of ‪The ONE Campaign‬ and Founder of ‪LEAP Africa, Dandelion Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli joins Dandelion 🌏 Shreya Ghodawat Ⓥ to explore benefits of returning to indigenous and plant-based diets, the power of community, the need for collective action, and rethinking our food choices and advocating for inclusive policies for a more equitable and resilient world that support both environmental sustainability and personal well-being. #ClimateChange #holistichealth #healthcrisis #socialequity #foodinsecurity #resourcescarcity #education #sustainablesolution #plantbaseddiets #powerofcommunity #environmentalsustainability

Who stands at the forefront of climate change's impact? 🌳 Gender and age profoundly shape climate vulnerability, Yet these factors often lurk in the shadows of policy discussions. Women in developing nations face unique challenges, While future generations inherit the consequences of our actions today! What hidden injustices must we confront to achieve true climate equity? Are our current climate strategies leaving the most vulnerable behind? 😲 In this episode of #SustainableTeaWithShreya 🎙️, Dandelion 🌏 Shreya Ghodawat Ⓥ joins co-founder of Project Dandelion and former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson discuss about achieving climate justice, vulnerable fronts of this injustice, and building a true climate equitable world. 🌎 Full episode is out on YouTube 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dxZkbpwr United Nations Human Rights The Elders Foundation The Mary Robinson Centre Council of Women World Leaders Trinity College Dublin #Climatejustice #genderinequality #intergenerationalequity #environmentaljustice #climatechangeimpacts #sustainabledevelopment #youthclimateactivism #climatepolicy #globalwarmingeffects #climateresilience #ecofeminism #climatechangeadaptation #environmentalsustainability #climatechange

We are at the COP tipping point. This COP started strong with many announcements as well as some important wins. However, as we head into the second week and the negotiators get into the details, it is clear that a successful outcome is still facing an uphill battle.    As a community, we now have a pivotal role to play. We must call on the Presidency to demonstrate our support and hold him accountable to his role in navigating these negotiations towards the strongest possible outcome. We must rally behind the headline signals that will ensure the necessary ambitious response to the GST, and send a clear sign that the real economy is united and ready to deliver a transformation, which is already underway.    For this to have an impact, we need your help. We are mass mobilizing stakeholders behind an unbranded statement (attached) to land on the 8th of December which will:  🌍 Urge the negotiations to incorporate ambitious outcomes connected to a clear 2024 implementation roadmap, to send a strong signal for the direction of travel needed towards 2025-2030; 🌎 Demonstrate the unstoppable momentum across all corners of the global economy and society that the transition is happening - and accelerating. Add your name alongside CEOS, finance leaders, Mayors, Governors, leading scientists and other figureheads by completing the short form below (before Dec 7th at 12 noon Gulf Standard Time) and please help us by sharing this critical opportunity widely with your community. https://lnkd.in/eDQStBwZ

At last year’s COP 27 summit, women comprised less than 34% of the negotiating teams. I have long been an advocate for ensuring women have a seat at the table when decisions are being made. Climate change is a generational global problem that disproportionately impacts women and girls. It is imperative that the leaders of COP 28 include women and keep women's issues and voices at the forefront. 

Creating a Climate Safe World requires curiosity and a higher level of engagement from all of us. We need a compelling story to successfully engage and excite people everywhere. She Changes Climate Project Dandelion The Female Quotient

With COP28 rapidly approaching, we're excited to share that Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC) is hosting an informal, time-bound (Nov-Dec 2023) mentorship intensive to help grow the impact and power of women's voices in public and the media at COP28. The program aims to pair experienced spokespeople and media experts with people who have less experience or who are re-engaging in a public role. Participants are expected to agree to a minimum commitment of 1 x 30 minute call with their partner ahead of COP28, and to respond to at least 3 messages during COP28 to exchange advice, tips and strategies on media work at COP. More information here ↓ https://lnkd.in/eE6cnKwM To apply for the program, please complete the form below by 6pm CET on Fri 17 Nov. https://lnkd.in/eK7iHJa6

As the first woman President of Ireland from 1990 to 1997, Mary Robinson's legacy extends far beyond her term in office. Mary is known for bridging the gap between climate change and human rights communities and for championing a rights-based approach to seeking climate justice. Her passion for establishing grassroots women’s leadership in climate policy is evident in the co-founding of Project Dandelion, a women-led global climate justice campaign. We are honoured to have her as a special guest at the #UniteForClimate Solutions Virtual Summit to share her invaluable advice and guidance on involving more women in climate leadership.
