In April 2010, Climate Wise Women
from the South Pacific Islands, Uganda and Biloxi, Mississippi will
begin a 30-city, 18-country speaking
tour in the Americas.
These community activists can’t wait for politicians and governmental
negotiators to get it right on climate change. They want straight talk
on what climate change is doing to women, children, families and
communities around the world. The tour continues to Asia / the Pacific
in Fall 2010 and to Europe in Spring 2011.

Join us for this public event where women Nobel Peace Laureates and
co-founders of the Nobel Women’s Initiative, Wangari Maathai and Jody
Williams, will discuss their vision of ‘climate justice’ – an approach
to climate change that recognizes differential responsibilities for
developed and developing countries, and puts the rights of people,
especially women, at the center of the climate debate. Pat Mitchell,
President of The Paley Center for Media and the former President and
CEO of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), will
moderate.
- Wangari Maathai,
founder of the Green Belt Movement, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
in 2004 for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and
peace.
- Jody
Williams,
founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines,
was awarded the Prize in 1997 for her work in creating an
international treaty to ban landmines.
