The Women's
Earth and Climate Caucus (WECC) is working as a
collaborative organization to create an international
campaign to reduce carbon emissions and to foster a
post-carbon economy and energy future, while also addressing
societal change.
The Women's Caucus honors diversity, and addresses both the
immediate actions required to stop global warming as well as
the long-term societal and personal transformation needed
for systemic, creative, and
enduring change.
They are a solution-based alliance that works with women
leaders from grassroots organizations, policy making
agencies, business, and science.
Please see

for the Earth: Reconnecting Culture with Nature.
