Investing to Tackle Climate Change: Meet the Women Taking Charge

As climate change and related business innovations enter a more urgent phase, we need more women to take charge.

Women disproportionately suffer the impacts of climate change; according to a UNDP report, 80% of people displaced by the climate crises are women. But major climate negotiations are overwhelmingly conducted by men, far removed from the lived experience of people directly affected by the devastating impacts of climate change.

Similarly, we know that women in leadership and on boards are more likely to improve transparency around carbon emissions. Yet, only 15% of VC funding in CleanTech goes to women. 

To meet this challenge head-on, we have gathered bold women committed to taking action against the climate crisis who have leveraged their investments to affect positive change for women and the environment.
