From September 20th-23rd, 2013, women leaders from over 35 countries gathered in New York to craft a Women’s Climate Action Agenda at the first International Women’s Earth and Climate Summit.On this episode of Voice of America Go Green Radio, Founder and Co-Director of the International Women’s Earth and Climate Initiative, Osprey Orielle Lake, discusses the insights gleaned from this meeting of grassroots women. For example, approximately 60-80 percent of food production in developing countries can be attributed to women. Since agriculture is a very essential key point in climate change, integrating women in the whole process is important to recognize the motivations and challenges faced by women every day. The concrete solutions to tackle the climate change from feminist perspectives are radical ones, with women coming together to heal the disconnect between the head and heart.
