During the UN Climate Ambition Summit on September 20, WECAN hosted an event where women leaders called on governments to halt fossil fuel extraction. They urged investment in a Just Transition, grounded in climate justice, care economies, and Indigenous rights, rather than business as usual.

The event featured two panels. The first, "Women Ending the Era of Fossil Fuels," discussed transitioning away from extraction and policy advocacy. The second, "Women-led Climate Solutions Are Central to a Just Transition and Thriving Future," showcased successful community-led climate solutions.

WECAN concluded its Climate Week advocacy with "How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis." Movement leaders and change-makers, including Casey Camp Horinek, Helena Gualinga,

Indigenous women from the Amazon, leading global and local movements, issued urgent calls to action at a COP27 press conference. They highlighted ongoing efforts to protect their communities and territories from governments and corporations violating Indigenous and human rights through harmful extractive projects.

Speakers, including Sônia Bone Guajajara (Federal Deputy of Brazil) and Patricia Gualinga (Spokeswoman for Mujeres Amazónicas Defensoras de la Selva), demanded stronger Indigenous rights, forest and water protection, and global climate action.

Women worldwide, particularly in the "developing world," disproportionately bear the brunt of climate change and environmental degradation, yet their voices are frequently overlooked. Climate, physical, and psycho-spiritual health are deeply interconnected, not separate issues.

A panel of leading women activists, including Zainab Salbi, Nina Simons, Justin Winters, Kahea Pacheco, and Helena Gualinga, explored climate's impact on women. They advocated for women's full inclusion in all climate solutions, linking these struggles to personal healing and authentic global change.

This discussion took place at the 2022 Bioneers Conference. Learn more at http://www.bioneers.org.

California is the world's largest consumer of Amazon rainforest oil. This extraction fuels climate change, deforestation, ocean pollution, and displaces Indigenous peoples who protect the Amazon's vital biodiversity. It also harms communities along the supply chain, including those near toxic refineries in California.

We are honored to host Indigenous Amazonian forest-protectors, sisters Nina and Helena Gualinga. Working with Amazon Watch, they urge Californians—and all of us—to #EndAmazonCrude and demand corporate responsibility for people and the planet.
