The Women’s Climate Congress is an Australian not-for-profit organisation working to promote nonpartisan women’s participation, leadership and priorities for action on climate change alongside deep listening and collaboration across different political, business and community perspectives.
Women’s participation and leadership in decision making for action on climate change is critical in the global bid to achieve climate security before it is too late. But our historically patriarchal systems of government still exclude women’s full, equal participation, while polarisation in public discourse precludes the collaboration needed for rapid action.
Since its formation in January 2020, WCC has engaged with 1000s of women from all parts of Australia and overseas, across political parties and from all walks of life. We are connected nationally and internationally to women at all levels of governance and decision making.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
