Equal Rights for Women and Girls

About This Collection

Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.

If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

February 15, 2019

Writer and environmentalist Katharine Wilkinson asserts that gender equity is crucial for addressing climate change. Through Project Drawdown, she helps identify solutions to reduce heat-trapping emissions. These include obvious strategies like renewable energy and sustainable diets, alongside less apparent but vital ones, such as the education and empowerment of women.

In her compelling talk, Wilkinson outlines three key ways that equity for women and girls can help combat global warming. She emphasizes, "Drawing down emissions depends on rising up."
