​The Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International is organizing the virtual 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 from June 23 - 28, 2025, daily from 1:00 - 6:00pm ET. 

​

The Global Women’s Assembly will bring together grassroots and frontline women leaders, global advocates, thought leaders, and policy-makers to showcase a diverse array of visions, projects, policy frameworks, campaigns, and movement strategies with which we can accelerate a bold and transformative path to a healthy and just world. This collective work is paramount as we face a growing polycrisis. The challenges are ever-increasing, but so are our power and leadership when we gather together.

​

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. Everyone is welcome!

​

WECAN established our first Global Summit in 2013, where we organized a gathering of 100 global women and gender-diverse leaders from the Global South and Global North, including former Heads of State, Indigenous leaders, scientists, grassroots and frontline leaders, renewable energy experts, and policymakers. Since the first WECAN convening, we have conducted seven global assemblies, including in France, Morocco, Brazil, the United States, and Germany.  Please be welcome to learn more about the crucial role of women at the center of climate solutions here. ​
