Women Leading Climate Action Speaker Series: Hosted by ActionAid Australia in partnership with Women’s Agenda

JOIN US FOR A LIVE ONLINE EVENT

As the COVID-19 pandemic dominates the world's headlines, the climate emergency still needs urgent and radical action.

The Women Leading Climate Action Speaker Series aims to lift the voices of diverse women in Australia and overseas who are leading solutions to the climate crisis.

The recent bushfires brought home the reality of climate change to Australians. It's time to change the conversation against climate denial and inaction.

Join the discussion with women at the forefront of the climate emergency. 

We will explore how women leaders are driving collective action to transform Australia’s climate agenda.
