EcoRadio KC will play the most recent Climate Hour: The Opportunities Women’s Voices Offer in World Climate Actions, hosted by Bob Grove. Bob Grove speaks with his guest Osprey Orielle Lake, Founder and Executive Director of the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network, and author of The Story is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis, to discuss the opportunities women’s voices offer in world climate actions.
Women are deeply affected by the climate crisis. They repeatedly demonstrate that they have the strength, ideas and skills to make crucial decisions about how we live with the Earth and with each other. Women around the world direct their family’s lifestyle and consumption habits. Women farmers feed the world, producing as much as 80% of food in the Global South. Indigenous women in particular hold invaluable traditional knowledge on regenerative farming and the preservation of our waters and lands.
Women vote more often. They work harder to get out the vote. And they lead on enacting environmental legislation when elected to office. Women are more willing and able to unite across party lines and other boundaries. Studies repeatedly show that countries with more women in government ratify more international environmental treaties. Women’s voices are key to the political and ecological changes needed to slow the climate crisis and to create a sustainable future.
We support the work for a future in which humans flourish as members of a thriving ecosphere. We are all in this together and it will take all of us to make the world safe. This will be a great radio hour!
“The whole world is one neighborhood.” Franklin D. Roosevelt
