Thriving in a Changing World
Zonta International has committed to incorporating gender and climate justice as a pillar with Zonta Says NOW, with districts and clubs deciding how to bring that commitment to life.
This program will address how we make changes in ourselves, our communities and our world as Zontians to make us ready and resilient for climate emergencies and surviving and rebuilding during and after the emergencies.
