🚨 #COP29: Where are the women? If only 8 out of 78 world leaders at COP29 are women, how can we expect true climate action if those most affected aren’t represented at decision-making tables? In the nonprofit ESAlogika that I founded, all top positions are held by women—not by design, but because they’ve consistently demonstrated the vision, adaptability, and accountability needed. 🌍 This is the leadership we need globally. (The leadership team consists of Carolyne Tomisson, Claudia van der Veen, Morgan Burton, Carly Mazure, Ingrid Tissot van Patot, Mariia Zavialova) True change requires concurrent action everywhere, or we risk leaving the few women in leadership vulnerable to internal misrepresentation. Let’s demonstrate inclusi@ve leadership now! 👉 I invite you to share your thoughts: How can we ensure women’s voices lead the climate conversation globally? #GenderEquality #Leadership #ClimateAction #InclusiveLeadership
#COP29: Where are the women? Out of 78 world leaders present, only 8 are women—which is half as many as last year. How can we expect transformative climate action if those most affected aren't truly represented? Women & girls represent a striking 80% of all people displaced by climate change. We’re bearing the brunt of its impacts, yet lacking a seat at the table. Azerbaijan’s COP29 Organizational Committee was originally comprised of 28 men and ZERO women. After a global call from 88 women leaders, the committee added 12 women and 2 additional men. Our 2024 Barometer revealed that 71% of people in G7 countries think that gender inequality is widespread today in the world. Awareness is not the issue—representation is. Women are some of the strongest voices for action: 🌍 Women are 2.5x more likely to demand government action on climate. 📢 Women are 60% more likely to use their voice for positive change. 🗳️ Women are twice as likely to engage civically on climate issues. In the words of Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and UN Special Envoy on Climate Change, "Climate change is a man-made problem that requires a feminist solution." It’s time to recognize that inclusive leadership is essential for real climate progress. We urge organizations, governments, and individuals to demand gender-equal representation at decision-making tables and insist on policies that prioritize the experiences and solutions of those most affected. Join us in amplifying women’s voices and pushing for the inclusive climate action our world needs. Share this message, advocate for representation, and help us bring lasting change.
