Climate Wise Women

Women Leaders On Climate Justice: A Grassroots Perspective was jointly run this month by Oxfam Ireland and the Mary Robinson Foundation for Climate Justice in Trinity College.

The roughly 300 in attendance were treated to speeches from the inspiring Ursula Rakova (Executive Director of Tuele Piece) and Constance Okollet (Chairperson of the Osukura United Women Network). Part of the Climate Wise Women tour, they travel the globe to bring a first hand account of the effects of climate change to colleges, universities, businesses and communities and to foster discussion about climate justice and gender equality.
