💗🌎💗🌍💗🌏 Please take a minute to GET THE FACTS… REMINDER: March 8th is #InternationalWomensDay, a celebration dating back to the early 1900s. Since 1975, the United Nations has been celebrating with a theme highlighting the need to uplift women… This year’s theme is: ⭐️“Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress”⭐️ #InvestInWomen. Click on the picture below for the data and insights directly from the UN’s informative website. ➡️The theme is NOT “Inspire Inclusion” (a catch phrase confusingly launched by an “IWD” fundraising group—like its ridiculous marketing campaign last year asking to post a selfie hugging yourself.)🙄 ➡️Let’s not be confused... Performative slogans come and go. “Inspiring” inclusion is not enough—talk is cheap. ➡️We need leaders and organizations—public, private, for-profit, nonprofit, governmental, educational—to follow through BEYOND INSPIRATION. ➡️ INVEST in education, training, allyship, mentorship, and uplifting women as leaders in workplaces, communities, and governments. ➡️ INVEST in policies (and laws) that create opportunities, economic empowerment, and close the pay gap for women. ⭐️From the UN Women website (details and data at the link below): “Closing gender gaps in employment could boost GDP per capita by 20 per cent...” “Policymakers must also value, recognize, and account for the vital contribution women make to economies worldwide through paid and unpaid care work. Women spend around three times more time on unpaid care work than men and if these activities were assigned a monetary value they would account for more than 40 per cent of GDP.” “Investing in women and championing gender equality turbocharges a future where everyone in society can thrive, creating a world of boundless opportunity and empowerment for all.” 💗⭐️INVEST IN WOMEN to honor your mother and your grandmother. We ALL stand on the hardworking shoulders of the tireless women who came before us.⭐️💗 #CelebrateWomen #WomensHistoryMonth #InclusiveWorkplace #Inclusion #Equity #Ally #Allyship #WomenInBusiness #WomenLeaders #Mentorship #WomenEmpoweringWomen #GenderEquality #GenderPayGap

In our latest blog Diana E. Chacón on the need for women to be involved at the policy making level when it comes to addressing climate change. 🌎According to a 2021 report from the European Institute for Gender Equality only 26.8 percent of government ministers responsible for environment and climate policies are women, while the majority, 73.2 percent, are men. Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/ghYwhVrm #climatepolicy #climatechange #climatejustice #genderequality #sdgs #sdg5 #sdg13 #globalgovernance

🌎 The health impacts of climate change, poor air quality, reduced water quality, and decreased food security affect men and women differently due to biological, socioeconomic, and cultural factors. Modifying climate risks requires multi-sector coordination, improved data acquisition, tracking of gender-specific objectives, and equitable stakeholder participation. But, above all, empowering women as agents of social change can improve mitigation and adaptation policy interventions. As explained here👇 #empowerwoman #publicpolicy #climatechange

Today, we celebrate International Women's Day 2024, themed 'Investing in women: Accelerate progress'. ❤️ With this theme, the International Labour Organization International Labour Organization emphasises the vital link between decent work and gender equality. On this day, we stand in solidarity with the United Nations and celebrate women's pivotal role under this theme. ❤️ Empowering women emerges as a crucial solution to global crises. By strategically investing in women, we can catalyze transformative change and move towards a healthier, safer, and more equitable world for all. ❤️ Key data points: ▶ $360 billion annually is needed for gender equality. ▶ Closing gender employment gaps could boost GDP per capita by 20%. ▶ Investing in care services could create nearly 300 million jobs by 2030. ▶ Without intervention, over 342 million women and girls could face extreme poverty by 2030. To address women's needs, governments must prioritize gender-responsive financing and increase public spending on essential services and social protection. ❤️ Additionally, policymakers must recognise women's significant contribution to global economies through unpaid care work. By investing in women and championing gender equality, we propel towards a future where everyone can thrive. Let's continue working together towards a tangible reality of gender equality for all. ❤️ Today, I want to extend a heartfelt gratitude to all wonderful women in my life and in the world. Thank you to those who are making a visible impact in the world, and also to those women who are carrying out their lives supporting others every day without visible recognition. Let's keep investing into each other in all available ways. #thankyou #giveforward ❤️ #womensday #womensday2024 #naistenpäivä #kvinnodagen #equalitydiversityinclusion #equality #ILO #unitednations

This International Women's Day, the UN's theme, "Invest in Women: Accelerate Growth," speaks volumes to me. Link to page and key info attached. At the heart of it, I believe this theme emphasises the critical importance of valuing and recognising women's contributions, both through their paid work and the often invisible, unpaid care work they undertake. It's about acknowledging all that women bring, do, and offer to our societies and economies. Amidst global instability, the immediate and lasting impacts on women cannot be ignored. These challenges highlight the urgency of investing in women as a cornerstone for accelerating growth across every sphere. The fact that we are still discussing the gender pay gap in this and age is astonishing and highlights the need for more significant progress and effective solutions. Accelerating growth means making conscious priorities and acknowledging the vast and diverse contributions of women. As we mark International Women's Day, let's commit to actions that genuinely support and invest in women. Because when we empower women, we don't just advance gender equality; we catalyse growth that benefits everyone. https://lnkd.in/g997kFAG. #InternationalWomensDay #InvestInWomen #GenderEquality #AccelerateGrowth

Gender parity in environmental decision-making is rare, with women comprising only one-third of employees in environmental ministries globally. Yet their role in driving effective and equitable climate results is vital.   Research has shown that women assess risk differently to men and so national parliaments with more women pass more stringent climate policies.   In the final installment of our International Women’s Day 2024 series, we asked women across the Carbon Trust what their advice would be for those aspiring to pursue careers in the climate space.    Find out what their guidance would be ⬇️    #IWD24 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInSustainability #GenderParity
