OUR GLOBAL NETWORKNew York Climate Week
At Climate Week NYC held September 22-29, 2024, the WLOC network launched with a powerful coalition of leaders from politics, business, and civil society.
Over 300 women leaders convened, representing a cross-section of expertise and influence. Calls to action focused on tripling renewable energy, phasing out fossil fuels, and creating investable, ambitious country climate plans.
Climate champions, including Jennifer Morgan, Laurence Tubiana, and Gina McCarthy, delivered inspiring messages about the urgency of collective action. Ana Toni spoke about why Brazilian leaders have launched their own local network ahead of COP30.
