How to Book Speakers Prices Corporate Table Offers Green Capital Subscribers

As the nation debates the CPRS and the world heads for the Copenhagen climate summit, leading Australian women will pose a new challenge for policy-makers, business managers and marketers:

• Women are half the electorate
• Women make 70% of purchasing decisions that determine household carbon footprint
• Women answering opinion polls consistently outpoint men in supporting serious action on the environment by governments, business and individuals
• Women bring incredible energy and social networking skills to addressing society’s great challenges

While many now accept the need to drive change in society to effectively tackle the challenge of climate change, how to do it is a hot topic. Hear why understanding the role and power of women in getting there is essential.

So what do women want from our climate policymakers? What are the messages marketers need to hear if they want to reach women consumers on climate and environment? And how can women take a strong leadership role in transforming society as we move to a low-carbon future?

The Women in Climate Change (WICC) series is part of the 1 Million Women campaign, which aims to empower a million Australian women to take practical action on climate change by collectively cutting 1 million tonnes of CO2 pollution in their daily lives, thus driving long-term behaviour change. WICC has been supported by the Australian Government through the Women’s Leadership and Development Program.

The inaugural WICC forums will explore the role of gender for Australia’s climate crisis. In recognising both the need for behaviour change and the power of women in driving demand for solutions-related products, services and programs, these events will consider the issues through the lens of women in society, in the community and in business.

• How do we successfully change deeply embedded behaviour?
• How do we harness the power of women as change agents, to improve the sustainability landscape?
• How can self-empowerment help society find its voice and contribute to the dialogue?
• What tools can we provide so society can just ‘get on with it’?

The WICC events are for everyone - women and men – who need to drive change in their organisations and communities.

The series includes representatives of many Australian women’s organisations, and leading women drawn from politics, business, the public service, faith communities, the arts, science, community, the media and other fields. With great keynote speakers, panel discussions and special entertainment, the WICC forums are a great opportunity to:

• Share in a dynamic and fresh dialogue ahead of the imminent CPRS discussion and the UN Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen this December, and
• Gain tools to empower you and your organisation to take action now

You’ll hear leading Australian women offer their perspectives for climate policy and practical programs and activities that will mobilise women from all backgrounds and cultures to join in cutting CO2 pollution. WICC will empower women to find their voice, take an advocacy role and confront the challenges of achieving long-term behaviour change.

Join with 1 Million Women and Green Capital to understand how best to capture the power of this influential group and capitalise on the sustainability gains that women can drive through their professional and personal networks.  Can you really afford to miss this?
