Women in Action in the Climate Emergency

Empowering women to achieve meaningful change in the Climate Emergency

Presented by Giselle Wilkinson & Vanessa Petrie, Facilitated by Heidi Lee

In this women-only facilitated workshop, you will co-create a vision of a thriving society and go on a journey of self-discovery to create your own personalised Climate Emergency Action Plan. Vanessa, Giselle and Heidi will provoke and inspire you with stories from the coral-face of climate action. Bring forth your inner revolutionary and co-create the world you dream of! This event is the perfect follow-on to the various 2018 Climate Emergency conferences and events across Melbourne. We look forward to seeing you there!

Giselle is an absolute champion of the Climate Emergency revolution – she has studied, written, and personally built change across many sectors, including co-founding the Sustainable Living Foundation and the Breakthrough-National Centre for Climate Restoration. She is so deeply committed to the power of community to make a difference that she demolished her family home of twenty years to build an experimental eco-village in its place: Murundaka Cohousing Community (who are the venue sponsors of this event!).

She is a smart, clearsighted and purposeful leader who has built BZE into an internationally acclaimed climate solutions think tank. The BZE volunteer research team have produced detailed Plans to transition Australia from a fossil to a thriving, renewable energy economy. Vanessa is recognised nationally for her expertise in the practical and policy conditions needed for change.

Heidi Lee

She is passionate about the capacity for everyday people to create solutions to climate change and looks for opportunities to empower communities every day.
