As in every other space, women’s voices, opinions and impacts are missing in climate action conversations.
The inclusion of women in climate action is necessary because the climate crisis is not gender-neutral. It intersects deeply with existing inequalities; ignoring gender dynamics makes climate efforts less effective, less just, and ultimately less successful.
Women’s full inclusion in decision-making, policy design, implementation, and leadership is essential in solving the climate crisis and combating climate change because they are its first victims.
On 28th March 2026, Sheroes Rising for Development Initiaitve is bringing 3 women leaders to the table for its IWD Webinar Series to discuss on the importance of women in climate action because women’s inclusion isn’t optional or “extra” — it’s a practical necessity for faster, fairer, and more effective climate progress.
