Another event in the COIN Speaker Series on Climate Change will take place on 22nd June - 'women and climate change, is the female of the species more deadly than the male?'

Women and climate change: is the female of the species more deadly than the male?

THURSDAY 22ND JUNE

7-9 pm, Ruskin College. £3/£2.

Women have a particular relationship to climate change. It is the women in traditional societies who will carry the greatest burden of any weather and health disasters. Yet in the rich world, it is women who usually have the largest say in domestic decisions which contribute to the problem, especially with regards to travel and home energy. Two outstanding speakers share their own perspectives, fears and demands for action.

Ruth Bond is a trustee of the Women's Institute and a member of the the board of Stop Climate Chaos.

Juliet Davenport is Chief Executive of Good Energy.

This event is presented in partnership with the National Federation of Women's Institutes and Good Energy.

A question for Juliet Davenport re. her collaboration with Shell

14.06.2006 21:48

It might be worth asking Juliet Davenport why she agreed to sit on the board of judges for the Shell Springboard Awards, as well as to appear in Shell's latest 'Sustainability' report, when it seems relatively clear that while Shell greenwash is absolutely top dollar, it can't completely obscure the fact that it is engaged in the damn-near genocidal pursuit of profit from the burning of oil and gas.
