WE Connect: Women, Sustainability, and Leadership

Dive into connection and conservation at our next WE Connect! 🌿✨ Join us for a free in-person meetup where we’ll sip coffee and consider the connection between women’s economic empowerment and environmental sustainability, as we lead up to Earth Day this month. UN Women notes that women and girls experience disproportionate harm as the climate crisis worsens, amplifying existing gender inequalities. Research has shown that women’s leadership and participation in local natural resource management is linked to better resource governance and conservation outcomes.

Join us and our featured speaker, Lillie Mulligan, Ocean Conservation Coordinator at WILDCOAST, as she discusses our theme and highlights their women-led mangrove restoration efforts in the Baja California peninsula in Mexico (you can view this 1-minute program video).
