NATIONAL CONGRESS OF WOMEN 2021
How can women rising transform our response to climate change?
Launching 30 November 2021 (online)
A call to the women of Australia ...
The National Congress of women is an initiative of the Women’s Climate Congress to lead a women’s movement for collaborative action on climate change – to promote a national plan that will bring the nation together and restore care for the Earth and nurture of life to the centre of all our action on climate.
Over two 1-day online events (Tuesday 30 November 2021 and Thursday 28 April 2022) and a 2-day face-to-face conference in Canberra (mid-September 2022) the National Congress of Women will include deep conversation and learning, authentic connection and community building, artistic expression, collaborative action planning, and interaction with elected representatives.
Together, we aim to lead a movement for a collaborative national plan on climate change – a plan to bring the nation together and restore care for the Earth and nurture of life to the centre of all our action on climate.
The National Congress is an opportunity to participate in building a women’s movement for change on this urgent global issue and to bring your voice to the public declaration and action plan that we will produce at the conclusion of the Congress.
In preparation for the main events of the National Congress, we are also building a series of conversations with women from all over Australia hosted by members of the Women's Climate Congress over the next few months. See Weaving the Threads Together
We warmly invite all women from all walks of life to this nonpartisan event, an opportunity to participate in nurturing a women’s movement for change on this urgent global issue.
