Earth Day 22 April 2026
Connecting climate change with gender equality is a challenge. While the issue of climate has become politicized in recent years, it has always unequally affected women and girls, truly making it a women’s rights issue. Addressing the climate crisis is an opportunity to address gender norms and change them as we build a better world for women and girls.
This Earth Day, we are taking a “Step Forward for Equality.” This campaign will focus on awareness and education, highlighting the links between gender equality and climate justice. While climate justice has been a challenge to embrace, Zontians have always been the first to understand how women are disproportionately affected by climate crises. By focusing on gender-equality in climate policies and taking local actions, we know that we will be taking a step in the right direction.
