We can't solve the climate crisis without women at the center.
Women shoulder the heaviest burdens of climate change, environmental violence, and ecosystem destruction. As caregivers to families and communities, keepers of traditional knowledge, and stewards of the Earth and its resources, they are also uniquely positioned to address the urgent environmental and climate challenges we face.
WEA delivers funding and technical, entrepreneurial, and leadership training to women leading environmental justice projects around the world — empowering women's leadership to protect the environment and build healthier, more resilient communities now and into the future.
