Promoting Sustainability and Solutions to Climate Change
To accelerate and provide the new thinking and creative power for a global post-carbon economy, Earth Day Network is engaging women business, government and NGO leaders in its “Women and the Green Economy” (WAGE™) Campaign. Our goal is to create a policy agenda for Rio+20 and generate relevant national initiatives that will promote the green economy, secure educational and job training opportunities for women and channel green investment to benefit women.
Launched at the UNFCCC 16th Conference of the Parties in Cancun, Mexico in December, 2010, the WAGE Campaign intends to create a road map for women to aggregate their power and promote their leadership in creating a sustainable green economy and mitigating climate change.
dotearth created WAGE in view of the following facts:
* Women constitute more than half of the world’s population
* Women make 85 percent of all consumer choices
* Women are rising to key positions of power
* Women can lead the way to a sustainable green economy
From U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who created a new office for women at the State Department, to Dr. Amina Benkhadra, Morocco’s Minister of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment, to Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, women are leading key efforts in the climate and renewable energy discussion.
Together, our most talented and successful women can fast-forward the green economy.
