Women shoulder the heaviest burdens of climate change, environmental violence, and ecosystem destruction. As caregivers to families and communities, keepers of traditional knowledge, and stewards of the Earth and its resources, they are also uniquely positioned to address the urgent environmental and climate challenges we face.
Since 2006, WEA has supported over 52,000 women leading environmental justice projects in 31 countries by delivering funding and technical, entrepreneurial, and leadership training.
