Women’s Voices Are the Only Way Forward for Climate Change Solutions: ‘As Women, We Have to Stand Up and Back Up Women’

Every year since 1995, member nations of the U.N. have come together to discuss the planet’s climate crisis during COP meetings. This year marks the 30th annual meeting, which will be held Nov. 10 to 21 in Belém, Brazil. 

What COP30 won’t say out loud: The green transition is accelerating colonialism, and women are paying the price. Climate justice starts with women, ecology and an end to extractive capitalism.

Care Workers Are Essential. It’s Time to Build a Caring Economy.

When crises strike, we turn to our friends, families and sometimes even complete strangers to provide an extra set of caring and supporting hands. Care workers have always played an essential role in our communities, from assisting with child care to providing professional support to the elderly.

Our government has a once in a generation opportunity to pass policies that would support fair pay and dignified work conditions for caregivers, investing in the essential caregiving economy.
