Women in Climate
From winning lawsuits against multinational fossil fuel producers to pioneering climate resilience programmes across the global south, women are taking the lead on climate, charting the path towards net-zero and a more equitable world.
Yet despite their successes, women’s voices are underrepresented and ignored. In January 2024, the organising committee for COP29 (the annual UN climate summit) appointed no women to its board, an oversight that was only rectified after global media scrutiny.
In this new podcast from GIB Asset Management, we will meet exceptional women across business, government, media and not-for-profit who are driving climate action in their fields.
This podcast series from GIB Asset Management seeks to inspire current and future climate leaders by showcasing the innovative ways women are driving change in the fight against climate change. It will explore challenges from fresh perspectives and demonstrate how integral diverse collaboration is to finding novel solutions and stronger ideas to bring about a more sustainable world.
Hosted by broadcast journalist Naomi Kerbel (formerly Bloomberg, Sky News and CNBC).
Women in Climate
Proven Action
Gender-diverse teams excel in environmental reporting and governance while staying financially competitive and yet women remain underrepresented in leadership roles. So, what does it take to break through these barriers and drive meaningful change?
This episode moves beyond talk and dives into proven action. We’ll uncover how leaders push ambitious sustainability goals from within massive corporations – implementing radical change top down and bottom up.
We’ll explore how company initiatives, personal action, and leveraging networks at scale is working. We’ll delve into how the legal profession is driving climate solutions — from boardroom negotiations to courtroom battles — and why vulnerability can be a leadership superpower at getting this done.
Our guests:
- Magali Anderson, Board Member, Former CSO of Holcim, Founder of S4
