Women's Environment Network Australia

The Women's Environment Network Australia is an organisation that seeks to amplify women's voices for the environment.

Women are the most likely to respond to surveys as concerned about the environment and represent the majority of people who actively volunteer on environmental projects. Yet this interest is not reflected in formal decision making settings.

Our intention is to remedy this situation by supporting women to confidently have their say on our common future as well as supporting their voices and actions to make a difference for the health of the environment.

Mr Chairman, my name is Jo Tenner, I come from Australia which is among the world’s highest per capita emitter of greenhouse gas. I speak today on behalf of GenderCC, the Gender and Women’s Constituency and the Women’s Caucus.

Gender is about all of us, men and women, it is critical to understanding the social and economic context in which policies, programs and legislation are constructed. This is no less true in the case of a global climate change agreement.
