Women, especially poor women of colour, are suffering most as a result of the climate crisis, our highest-profile climate activists are women and girls and yet, at the top table it is men who are deciding the earth’s future.
In her latest book, How Women Can Save the Planet, award-winning journalist Anne Karpf argues that when it comes to fighting climate change we are not all in it together, but we could be.
“On the whole, the climate guilty are not women,” she tells Róisín Ingle on The Irish Times Women’s Podcast.
Sadhbh O’Neill, policy coordinator with Stop Climate Chaos, and Catherine Cleary, writer and founder of the Pocket Forests initiative also feature on this episode to talk about many of the issues raised in the book, the debate about women and climate change and what we can all do to help.
