Summit on Feminist Leadership in Climate Justice

The Miller Worley Center for the Environment’s second Summit on Feminist Leadership in Climate Justice is a welcoming space for all genders and non-binary people seeking to celebrate the accomplishments and vision of women in the field of climate justice. While there has been increased attention to the issue of climate change and climate justice over the past few years, the role women and non-binary people have played in this field deserves recognition. This three day event will feature intellectually engaging conversations with experts on a variety of topics including environmental justice, frontline communities, extraction, language and activism, and the intersection of art, indigenous knowledge and science, among others. In addition to talks with global speakers, local scholars and community organizers, we will host an in-person networking reception, a student research exhibit and a hands-on CoJourn for Climate Action workshop as part of the full Summit experience, allowing attendees to leave the Summit with a plan of action.

Conscious of carbon emissions associated with travel, our global speakers will be joining us virtually while local panelists will be in person. This hybrid event also provides multiple options for people interested in attending either physically or remotely.

With the generous support of Leslie Miller and Richard Worley, we are able to make this event free and open to the public with registration. Registration is open now until April 14.
