About
In celebration of Earth Day 2022, The Climate Conscious Podcast and The Breadfruit Collective hosted the inaugural Caribbean Women for Climate Justice Conference (CW4CJ). The 4-day Conference facilitated regional engagement on the intersection of climate and gender justice through a Caribbean focused lens.
The event attracted over 200 registrants from across the Caribbean and the diaspora and featured an equally diverse cohort of speakers, including representatives of youth and Indigenous communities.
Participants discussed issues critical to the overarching theme, shared ongoing work related to climate justice, and identified recommendations and corrective actions for advancing gender-sensitive climate action.
