How Women Can Save The Planet

Women, especially poor women of color, are suffering most from the climate crisis, but their voices are not heard in environmental policy. We need gender-inclusive and gender-equal climate policies to save the planet. Anne Karpf's book "A Green New Deal for Women" offers a powerful vision of how we can fight back and create a more sustainable future.

From New Orleans to Bangladesh, women, particularly poor women of color, bear the brunt of a crisis they have played no part in creating. However, where are the voices of elderly European women succumbing to heatwaves? Or African girls dropping out of school due to drought? While our most prominent climate activists are women and girls, it is men who hold the power to shape the Earth's future at the highest levels. We are not all on the same page, but we have the potential to unite. Instead of placing the burden on individual women to save the planet, we require visionary, global climate policies that are inclusive of gender and advocate for gender equality. Anne Karpf sheds light on the radical ideas, compelling research, and tireless campaigns led by and for women around the world, which have instilled her with hope. Through her conversations with female activists, she demonstrates how we can fight back, harnessing the strength of diversity. In the face of the most urgent catastrophe of our time, she presents a powerful vision: a Green New Deal for Women.
