After the success of last year’s first edition, CARE Belgium is proud to invite you to the second advocacy event of our campaign “Climate Change is Sexist” — a unique evening highlighting how climate change deepens gender inequalities and how women across the globe are leading the fight for climate justice.
As the world gathers for COP30, this year’s discussion will explore women’s central role in climate adaptation, resilience, and leadership — from local communities to global negotiations.
Join us for an engaging conference and cultural evening that will connect activists, researchers, policymakers, and civil society around one shared conviction: climate justice is gender justice.
