Women still face many systemic barriers around the world, from gender bias and marginalization to under representation in decision making. 

But wherever there are challenges, there are women overcoming them by re-envisioning policy, economies, education and climate solutions. 

In episode 11 of TalkLandscape, we’ll be speaking to two amazing guests from previous 8 Women celebrations and kicking off GLF Women: a year long campaign calling on people to reimagine leadership and systems of care. 

We’ll be looking at the vital role of women in climate leadership and how they are pushing positive change in their communities, countries and across the world.  

Join us on March 10, 17:00 CET, for a conversation with Subhra Bhattacharjee, Director General at FSC International, and Eva ‘Kandi’ Makandi, Founder of environmental NGO Light on a Hill.
