Tarkett’s Post

I'm a woman in sustainability and my experience is that we need to talk less about collaborating, and actually collaborate. Thank you to Women in Sustainability Network for encouraging people to share their experiences, and to JANNINE BARRON for roping me in!

🌿 Women's participation in the green transition is vital because they bring unique perspectives and skills. for instance, knows her village's environment well and can contribute valuable insights to sustainable solutions. Let's empower women to be leaders in the green transition!"🌸

Happy (even perhaps not so happy) International Women's Day! This year, perhaps more than ever, we have seen a horrifying rise in global attacks against woman and their institutions that led on from the abhorrent attacks of the Iranian state against women who refused to wear the hijab. Whether that is the continuing rape and sexual assault by invading forces in Gaza, attacks on childbirth and now the cryogenically frozen eggs and embryos in clinics in the US, which include bringing charges against medical staff who both facilitate and also terminate unviable embryos. At least 26,000 women who have been taped have been forced to carry the baby in the USA, since the latest raft of state law changes after the repeal of Roe v Wade by SCOTUS. We would do well to remember Britt 5. From the 14 Characteristics of Fascism. "Rampant Sexism The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy." We need to amplify the voices of women, because civilisation is regressing to silence them again. In any event, Sian Young CHC from the Centre for Sustainable Action and SDG Assessment featured here talks about her journey as an entrepreneur and founder.

Do women need to be 'fixed or in some way 'adapt' in order to be successful in industries where they are still in the minority? I don't think so. Rather, it's multi-layers of systemic change that is required. Where, what, who and how that can happen is likely to be part of the conversation, brilliantly convened by Enginuity today. What would you see me add to the discussion? Do share your thoughts and insights in a comment below. Women in Sustainability Network

Women face glass ceilings that prevent them from reaching environmental leadership positions at both national and international levels.   Gender parity in environmental decision-making is rare, and employees of environmental ministries are made up of only one-third women.   However, women are crucial in the work to achieve more effective and equitable climate results. Research has shown that women assess risk differently to men and so national parliaments with more women pass more stringent climate policies.   We want to see more women in sustainability – like our amazing colleagues at the Carbon Trust. We hope to inspire and encourage the next generation of women with our ‘Women in sustainability – in conversation with…’ series.   We talk to women across the Carbon Trust about their roles in the sustainability sector, the path they took to where they are today and advice they’d give to other women wanting to pursue a career in the industry.   Stay tuned for our first instalment tomorrow!   #WomenInSustainability #GenderParity
