Future Journeys are are taking this opportunity to organise a lunchtime workshop to inspire a dialogue around how to support women’s role in the emerging green economy. They have put together a wonderful guest panel including;
- Kathleen Rogers – President of Earth Day Network

- TBC – The 1 Million Women campaign

Research from NSW Department of Climate Change and Water conducted last year showed that men have more knowledge about climate change, but women are more likely to take action. So is it possible to approach the climate challenge with our business and family hats on – identifying wealth opportunities in the marketplace – as well as caring for the planet for future generations?
How do we best embrace this opportunity for women? How do we develop new creative and collaborative approaches?
