Join us for an important discussion about the role of women in leading and supporting Australia's response to our environmental and climate crises. International evidence has shown that more women in decision making leads to better environmental outcomes. Women’s leadership is often collaborative, networked and responsive to communities, which are essential skills for our transition to a sustainable future. Our guest speakers will discuss amazing projects being led by women across Australia, and how we can work to overcome the barriers that still exist, that are stopping women from stepping into their leadership.
