Women Leading Climate Action : Zonta Says NOW
Description
The Zonta Club of Northern Sydney invites you to an event to learn about the Zonta Says NOW campaign and to hear from dynamic local women leaders who are promoting a better environmental future through their work and activism.
Join climate advocates and community leaders for a powerful conversation on how climate change disproportionately impacts women and girls - and how women are leading action, innovation and sustainable change.
Zonta International envisions a world in which women’s rights are recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. Understanding climate change as a human rights issue is central to the fight against climate change, but also to creating a sustainable, gender-equal future.
