Today is International Women’s Day – an opportunity to acknowledge the women in the workforce, the progress they have made, and the work that is still to be done.

The UN Theme for 2022 is Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow.

Women are at the forefront of climate change activism and solutions, and some of the most impacted by climate destruction. These themes are about deep global impact - not just of the work women - but also the greater risk posed to them if ignored. Whilst we celebrate the advances women have made in the workforce, we must acknowledge the amount of work that still needs to be done!
