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).

Call to Action
2024 was the hottest year on record, and the first to officially breach the 1.5C global warming limit set by the Paris Agreement. As the climate crisis deepens, strong leadership is crucial to driving the systemic changes needed to protect our future. While each new generation of leaders face the growing impacts of climate change, they have the advantage of learning from, and building upon, the work of the trailblazers who’ve come before them.
So, what can we do to ensure the next wave of climate leaders are ready to take on the biggest challenges of our time? Climate change is a global problem: no one state can fix it, no single action is enough. So how do you bring people with you? Where are the opportunities for collaboration, and where are the networks to tap into? How do you make your career the most impactful it can be? Climate change isn’t just a topic of conversation- it’s a call to action.
