A feminist bid for the climate summit
Date: 04-11-2025Time: 8.00 pmLocation: Pakhuis de Zwijger, AmsterdamDevastation caused by the climate crisis is increasing in frequency and scope. At the same time, social inequality is getting worse. Yet action is still lagging far, far behind. One week before the annual UN climate summit, we discuss what is needed to change the tide. The climate crisis stems from a system based on inequality and extractivism.
Women and communities most affected are systematically ignored in decision-making. And once again it is those least responsible paying the highest price. That’s why this urgent global problem requires a feminist approach, and why justice must be at the heart of climate action, and indeed our energy transition. What does that look like? And how could the Netherlands take a leading role in feminist climate action at the global summit this year?
At 19.00 the participants of the Feminist Climate Academy will present a pre-program in which they will exhibit several actions that they’re organising to spread awareness and advocate for climate justice. Climb onto their ‘seat for Mother Earth’ to give nature a voice in parliament, take a ride in their cargo bike to understand the hidden costs of e-bikes, or support the ticket swap for the COP to amplify Indigenous voices at the climate summit.
