WEDO partnered with the World Conservation Union ( IUCN) and the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA) to convene a Training of Trainers (ToT) on gender and climate change immediately preceding the December 2008 UN Climate Change meeting in Poznan, Poland. The ToT was followed by a delegates training, which included representatives from some 40 countries. In 2009 WEDO will work with IUCN and GGCA on a series of trainings in five regions. Stay tuned!

WEDO has big plans for the UN Climate Change Conference in December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This involves presenting lessons learned and best practices from our national advocacy initiatives, including our campaign From Katrina to Copenhagen: Women Demand U.S. Action on Climate Change.

Out of Oxfam Great Britain came the amazing film, Sisters on the Planet, which tells Women’s stories of climate change from around the world; now there’s a U.S. version, too, as well as one from Australia! WEDO uses this film to raise awareness.

WEDO was chosen to be featured as a “Take Action” in the Women, Power and Politics online exhibition at the International Museum of Women. Visit the online community that inspires individuals and organizations from more than 200 countries to start conversations and take action around the issues that affect women and our world.
