Everyone’s Environment: Women & girls report launch

This online launch will mark the upcoming publication of How Will the Climate and Nature Crises Impact Women and Girls? – a major new briefing produced jointly by the WEN (Women’s Environmental Network) and NPC’s Everyone’s Environment programme. The session will introduce key findings from the report and explore what they mean for women’s and environmental organisations, funders, policymakers and practitioners across the UK.

The event aligns with International Women’s Day by spotlighting how systemic gender inequalities intersect with climate and environmental risks, and what needs to change to build a fairer, safer, and more resilient future for women and girls.
