2025 Global Women’s Assembly
for Climate Justice:
Path to COP30 and Beyond

The Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International is organizing the Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice: Path to COP30 and Beyond. The global convening will address solutions for the protection and defense of human rights and nature at this critical time. This event is a free, public forum to take place virtually in June 2025.

​

During the Global Women’s Assembly, grassroots Indigenous, Black, Brown, and frontline women and gender diverse leaders, global advocates, government leaders, and policy-makers will join together in solidarity to speak out against environmental and social injustice, draw attention to root causes of multiple interlocking crises, and present the diverse array of visions, projects, policy frameworks and strategies with which they are working to shape a healthy and equitable world.

 

The virtual Assembly also serves as a convening to support collective calls to action in the lead-up to COP30 and beyond, and is designed to generate ongoing networks of action regionally and by campaign focus for the years to come. We will tie these networks into existing women's and feminist formations as our collective movement for women’s climate leadership is growing. The Assembly is an inclusive space across identities and the gender spectrum.

​

WECAN established our first Global Summit in 2013, where we organized a gathering of 100 global women leader from the Global North and South, including Indigenous leaders, former heads of state, scientists, renewable energy experts, business leaders and policymakers. The Summit delegates committed to building momentum for substantive climate action and many projects and campaigns were generated from this event that are still active to this day. Since the first WECAN convening, we have conducted a total of 7 global assemblies, including in France, Morocco, Brazil, United States, and Germany.  Learn more about the crucial role of women at the center of climate solutions here.
