Climate Action in the EU: the Role of Women
Addressing climate change needs all hands on deck. The role or Women as one of the Major Groups in society is often mentioned in policies and strategies but often lacking when principles are translated to practice. The EU Committee of the Regions organised a workshop on Women, Policies and Climate Change during Green Week 2019 in Brussels. I had the pleasure to participate in the panel to contribute the role of women’s civil society.
Trade + Impact: promoting women's social entrepreneurship
A social enterprise not only generates revenue, but also creates positive social and environmental returns. Social entrepreneurs follow the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit; they create innovative paths for achieving sustainable development.
Trade + Impact is a trade association based in Toronto, Canada, that unites and supports women-lead social enterprises in the crafts and natural cosmetic sectors. The focus is on Africa and the Middle East.
I am thrilled to have joined their Board of Directors of T+I as Vice-Chair and Secretary of the Board and Lead of the Governance Committee.
Women and water in agriculture: paving the way for a better future
This Word Water Day is about ‘Leaving No One Behind’.
Women are often a crucial resource in agriculture, but face considerable restrictions to contribute fully to rural economies in developing countries. Australian Water Partnership (AWP) is funding a joint project of FAO and UTS-ISF that, together with local partners, addresses the gender, water and food synergies in Myanmar. I have the pleasure of participating in the project as International Advisor. For more information, see the Link
