The Women's Climate Congress is a network of women from all walks of life and political views. This is our Portland, Victoria, Australia chapter.
We are committed to the development of a collaborative national plan for action on climate change that everyone can sign on to and we believe that women's voices and women's leadership are essential to achieving this.
Supporting Rural Women. Strengthening Communities. Creating Local Solutions.
What could happen if women across our region came together to shape practical, community-led solutions for the future?
Join us in Portland for inspiring conversations, connection and action as we explore challenges together in a space designed to empower rural and regional women to lead innovative projects that strengthen communities, build resilience and create sustainable local solutions.
Supported by the Women's Climate Congress (WCC), this initiative is part of a growing national movement amplifying the voices, ideas and leadership of women across rural and regional Australia.
About the Women’s Climate Congress
Women’s Climate Congress is a national, nonpartisan movement helping women lead practical climate resilience and community action across Australia. Over the past six years, WCC has grown into a national network of more than 1,000 members, supported by volunteers, facilitators and regional partners working across generations, sectors and communities.
Our work uses circle-based dialogue to create trusted local spaces where women can connect, share lived experience, strengthen leadership skills and develop practical responses to climate, well-being and community challenges. We support First Nations knowledge, value inter-generational learning, and support women to turn concern into local action and hope.
Together, we can build stronger communities, support rural and regional women’s leadership, and create solutions that leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
