Women are uniquely situated to be champions of change, including in the workforce, and while more women today are represented in leadership positions, there is still a significant gender gap. Women, especially women of color, continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions even though it is well established that diversity is highly beneficial to creativity, innovation, effectiveness and ultimately problem-solving.

Please join our Climate Week NYC event, Women in the Climate Change Workforce, to hear from an inspiring panel of women in climate and environmental leadership positions sharing their experiences and what they view as the challenges and opportunities to institute equity, diversity, and inclusion in environmental organizations.
