In a world where climate crisis and gender inequities intersect, the concept of feminist climate justice emerges as a critical path toward building a future where all thrive. It advocates for a holistic approach that intertwines women's rights with climate action, ensuring that as we transition to low-emission economies, gender-specific vulnerabilities are addressed, and resources are fairly redistributed. This transformative framework emphasizes the empowerment and representation of women and gender-diverse individuals in climate decision-making processes. By harnessing collective action and recognizing the leadership of these groups, we can pave the way towards a sustainable and equitable future. Join the movement for feminist climate justice, where every step towards climate resilience is a step towards gender equality. #sustainability #supplychain #diversity

As we address global challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and food security, it's crucial to harness the full potential of our talent pool. Research consistently shows that diverse teams bring about creative solutions. By promoting gender equality in science, we unlock a wealth of perspectives, ideas, and skills that are vital for developing innovative, sustainable solutions. On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are proud of our 50/50 gender balance at the European Innovation Center. This is where we discover and develop FMC’s new biologicals and other plant health products. Let's continue to champion diversity to accelerate progress towards a more sustainable future. #WomenInScience #SustainableAgriculture #InnovationForChange #EqualityInSTEM #PlanetSolutions

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, we need measurable, credible, ambitious corporate action. Forward Faster is a powerful call for businesses to accelerate action in five areas — gender equality, climate action, living wage, water resilience, and finance and investment. These areas hold the key to accelerating progress across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We support companies committed to making a bigger, faster impact for 2030!

I am pleased to share my latest article on the intersection of climate change and gender equality. The impacts of climate change are not gender neutral. 80% of those displaced due to climate change are women. They also face a 14-fold higher mortality and injury risk in climate-related disasters compared to men. The key to effective climate action is the recognition that gender equality is crucial in unlocking the collective potential to address global challenges.

What is Impact in Sustainable Finance? How is the social worked upon in financial formulas? And what are the consequenses of bringing 'the social' into financial processes? These are key questions in my ongoing research. I wrote this report for MTI Invesemtents while I did my fieldwork in Dar-es-Salaam. It was a true pleasure to move away from the Global North driven ESG and SDG frameworks, with pre-defined indicators for 'impact' and 'decelopment', and rather work from below, inductively, to analyze and assess what the portfolio businessses actually do towards their society and environment. And then, at the final stage of the analysis, to extract the findings and align these to the Sustainability Agenda.

“In a world where climate crisis and gender inequities intersect, the concept of feminist climate justice emerges as a critical path toward building a future where all thrive.” Very well said, Sheri R. Hinish. Thank you so much for sharing. For anyone interested in converging industries, #inclusion, and the promise and impact of #technology, this is an excellent overview of ongoing important research by UN Women. Short on time? Check out 1st paragraph on p. 18 and graphics on pp. 33 and 36. If you follow these issues, #staytuned for our look at the intersection of #ESG and #DEI and the future of supply chain resilience in the United States. Special thanks to Sheri for your leadership in this area and for inspiring so many of us to dig deeper into these developments. #climatejustice #unwomen #diversityequityinclusion #supplychain #supplychainresilience #innovation #sustainability #esgstrategy #futuremobility

"Gender equality and climate justice are not separate issues—they are deeply intertwined, and progress in one area is essential for progress in the other." A powerful framework by UN Women on the interconnectedness of these two vital movements, as shared by Sheri R. Hinish. Time is NOW to advocate for “gender-inclusive” climate policies, empower women in decision making roles and support initiatives that address both movements for a resilient and sustainable world. You can explore more insights in the report to generate ideas on how to take action within the scope of your own business.

Celebrating female environmental specialists entails recognizing their achievements, eliminating biases, and promoting gender equality. International Women's Day honors women's contributions to sustainability and environmental conservation. It is critical to recognize the important contributions that women make to sustainable development, innovation, and climate change mitigation. Women's leadership, collaboration talents, and problem-solving ability are critical for creating a more sustainable future. Encouraging young women to speak up, question prejudices, and advocate for environmental reasons is crucial. #inspireinclusion #iwd2024
