Gender-inclusive governance is a transformative approach that integrates gender perspectives and promotes equal participation of all genders in decision-making processes.

When it comes to climate change—a global challenge that affects us all, but not uniformly—such inclusivity is not merely an ethical imperative but a strategic one. Gender-inclusive policies and actions can significantly enhance the efficacy of climate interventions, driving both societal progress and environmental sustainability.

I believe that women’s voices must be heard if we are to keep our planet alive for myself and for future generations. That is why I joined the Women’s Climate Congress (WCC), a not-for-profit organisation run by passionate women, dedicated to making the changes needed to bring about climate security and ongoing care for life on Earth for current and future generations, which are expressed in the inspiring WCC Charter for Change.
