Women leading on climate letter
Summary
A global network of women leaders from business, politics, and civil society urges world leaders to accelerate carbon pollution reduction. They demand that by 2025, governments increase NDC ambition to align with the 1.5°C limit, phase out fossil fuels, triple renewables, double energy efficiency, halt deforestation, and mobilize public and private finance, particularly for the Global South.
Key insights
- Women are identified as critical drivers of climate mobilization, with research indicating they are twice as likely as others to engage their communities and speak out on climate issues, despite 80% of the general population supporting faster action.
- The network demands that every government meet several specific targets by 2025: delivering NDCs consistent with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement limit, tripling renewables, doubling energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels, and reversing deforestation.
- The letter calls for the mobilization of finance through public budgets, the removal of fossil fuel subsidies, and the use of catalytic public finance to attract private investment, with a specific emphasis on the Global South.
