OBJECTIVE

TERMS

THE PITCH

Climate Change is NOT gender neutral. Gender inequities are still prevalent around the world. Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world, an estimated 70% are women. Women work two-thirds of the world’s working hours, produce half of the world’s food, and yet only earn 10% of the world’s income and own less than 2% of the world’s property. Climate change disasters exacerbate these inequities and keep women further entrenched in poverty. However, for centuries women have been adapting to swift climate changes and have invaluable knowledge to contribute to climate change solutions. Therefore, it is neccessary to have women as champions in climate change solutions as well as incorporate a gender perspective when developing climate change policy. Because the U.S. is currently inactive on climate change policy but so critical to its implementation internationally, U.S. WOMEN must DEMAND U.S. ACTION on CLIMATE CHANGE!

    Although a little late for the campaign objective – its never to late for women (and men) to take action in the fight against global climate change!

    Our planet is on the verge of eco-failure, and affirmative action by Congress is necessary to the health of the planet.
