This episode was recorded during the virtual Meeting of the Executive Committee of the ParlAmericas Parliamentary Network on Climate Change and Sustainability titled “Parliamentary Exchange: Strategies for Bold Climate Initiatives,” organized by ParlAmericas.
In this presentation, Sapphire Alexander, Founder of Caribbean Feminist, discusses the importance of collaborative and inclusive climate action. She highlights how climate change acts as a threat multiplier, exacerbating existing inequalities and posing risks to work environments.
To address the challenges posed by climate change, Sapphire emphasizes the value of partnerships between parliaments and civil society organizations, underscores the need to support women and girls’ leadership and protect environmental defenders, and ensure that traditionally marginalized communities have a voice in decision-making processes.
In her intervention, she makes references to the following key resources:
