Writer and environmentalist Katharine Wilkinson asserts that gender equity is crucial for addressing climate change. Through Project Drawdown, she helps identify solutions to reduce heat-trapping emissions.

In her compelling talk, Wilkinson outlines three key ways that equity for women and girls can help combat global warming. She emphasizes, "Drawing down emissions depends on rising up."

Katherine Martínez Medina, 21, grew up on Vieques, Puerto Rico, an island contaminated by decades of US Navy bomb testing. This toxic environment, coupled with high food costs and import reliance, spurred her early environmental activism.

In 2020, Medina joined La Colmena Cimarrona, a women-led agriculture initiative formed post-Hurricane Maria. It seeks food sovereignty, a solidarity economy, and fights displacement in Vieques. As a link between organizations, Medina helps shape the farm's efforts, building hope.
