Climate Change and Gender Equity Talk with Kate Chaney MP

zontasaysnow

The climate crisis is not gender neutral. Analysis by the UN shows that the impacts of climate change amplify existing gender inequalities and threatens the livelihood, health, and safety of women and girls. But this is not just outside of Australia. There is concern in Australia about how disasters such as bushfires impact women’s financial stability especially in rural areas.

This year’s Contemporary Issues in PRME (Principles of Responsible Management Education) lecture by Kate Chaney, Independent Federal member for Curtin, will discuss these challenges.

  • Date: Tuesday 1 October, 1pm to 2pm (AWST)
  • In Person: Wesfarmers Lecture Theatre, University of Western Australia Business School , Crawley WA 6009.
  • Online: Lecture will also be livestreamed.
  • Tickets: FREE via Humanitix

Zonta International is a global human rights organisation committed to building a better world for women and girls. In short, Zonta Says YES to gender equality, NO to violence against women and NOW to gender equal climate action. Due to systemic gender inequality, women and girls have fewer resources and choices to recover from extreme weather events. Zonta Says NOW to gender-equal climate action is Zonta's campaign seeking climate justice for women and girls - so they can prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from the impacts of climate change on the same basis as men. The idea for the campaign began in the Zonta Club of Perth in Western Australia.
