Why Climate Justice?

                                       


Zonta International envisions a world in which women’s rights are recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. In such a world, women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men. In such a world, no woman lives in fear of violence. Climate change threatens those human rights... the right to life, food, water, health, education, livelihood and safety. 

While Zonta International is not an environmental or disaster response organization, climate change disproportionately affects women and girls and action is needed from a gender equality perspective. Zonta International and the Zonta Foothills Club of Boulder County pledge to empower women and girls at the global and local levels, and to promote justice and universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Therefore, we call for action to ensure a fair and human rights-based approach to solve the crisis of climate change in the post-pandemic world and achieve greener, cleaner and equal societies.
