Bioneer, In times of turmoil, women often provide the essential backbone that holds societies together and opens paths of renewal. Today, around the world, women in vulnerable frontline communities are the ones who most bear the brunt of climate change and also frequently lead the struggle to create a livable world without pollution and systemic violence. This week, we share some exemplary women leaders’ visions for a more equitable climate movement, including: Zainab Salbi, Naelyn Pike, Amisha Ghadiali, and Nina Simons. |
