This was a rallying call to action for everyone to keep fighting, keep talking and keep empathising with people (including those who may not be politically aligned with us) Watch here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gU4zuARC #WomenInSustainability #JaneFonda #Activism

Calabrese shared this post recently flagging this and that the domain "Womeninstem.us" was just bought to tell the stories of all the brilliant women in STEM. The website has been set up to celebrate the women within our spheres of influence that are doing the work as well as the women that have come before them.

Are you a sustainability professional struggling to meet targets or feeling overwhelmed or that you're not making a big enough impact? 😰 You are not alone! Sustainability professionals and leaders everywhere are struggling to have conversations that change their clients’ and boards’ minds and influence them to adopt sustainability as 'business as usual'.

Gender Equality in Sustainability - Mission Accomplished? 🤔 This year's UN International Women's Day on the 8th of March has the theme of "For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” With 50-63% of new entries into sustainability being women and 48% of global Heads of Sustainability also reported to be female, have we entered into a new golden era of equality for women in our sector(s)? We're doing a quick 'temperature check' of whether YOU feel gender equality has been accomplished for the sustainability profession / where women are working to tackle the SDGs. Please take our poll and we'll publish the results here on 8th March, International Women's Day 👉 https://bit.ly/4kb5VzG (It's super quick and should only take you 2 minutes - or less if you're speedy on the keyboard!) #WomenInSustainability #IWD #SDG5
