Women, nature, and 2030: a transformational global climate solution

Tuesday 20 January 2026

Speaker:
Zainab Salbi, Co-founder, Daughters for Earth; Founder, Women for Women International
Chair:
Professor Naila Kabeer, Emeritus Professor of Gender and Development, Department of International Development, LSE; Gender Justice and the Wellbeing Economy research programme leader, LSE III

Climate change is not gender-neutral — not in its impact on women and girls, nor in the solutions women are leading. This lecture will share new research revealing how women’s leadership is providing new pathways to address the climate crisis. By centring their relationship with nature and its protection, they are bringing about new behaviour changes and economic models that are leading to long-term transformations within communities. Their actions are transformative, positioning humans and communities as part of nature, not actors upon it.
