Hear from a panel of grassroots women leaders and global advocates discussing environmental degradation and the climate crisis. They will present a diverse array of strategies and solutions to secure strong communities and a just planet for current and future generations including: Indigenous rights, Rights of Nature, Women’s Leadership, Forest Protection, Food Sovereignty, and much more.
This webinar is hosted by Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network, “a solutions-based organization established to engage women worldwide in policy advocacy, on-the-ground projects, trainings, and movement building for global climate justice.” It is a Stockholm+50 Associated Event. Stockholm+50 is an international meeting convened by the United Nations General Assembly.
WECAN will be engaging with Stockholm+50 advocating for women’s leadership, just climate action, and the end of fossil fuel production through the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty
The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty is an initiative to phase-out fossil fuels and fast-track climate solutions inspired by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. WECAN Executive Director Osprey Orielle Lake sits on the Steering Committee for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Recently WECAN organized a campaign in which indigenous women leaders and over 200 groups nationwide (including Sunflower Alliance) sent a letter calling on the US Army Corps of Engineers to deny the permits for Line 5, conduct a Federal Environmental Impact Statement for the entirety of Line 5 and respect Indigenous rights. The expansion of the Line 5 tar sands pipeline would endanger a wide area of sensitive waterways and violate indigenous treaty rights.
