"Women's participation in politics is a matter of justice. Women are half the world, half of humanity. Women, in all their diversity, should be half of all decision-making." - @Winnie_Byanyima at Forum for Global Challenges @Forum_4GC #F4GC2022 #F4GC #WomensRights

What an inspiring @Forum_4GC session hearing from winners and finalists of the @EarthshotPrize on how they're taking action against the #ClimateCrisis and inequalities. Great to meet you Kevin, @CoVaitea, @OlugbengaBanjo and @domipalmer!

Women being at the frontlines of #COVID19 was proof that our societies’ resilience is women-powered. Thrilled to be at @Forum_4GC w/ Minister @elenabonetti, First Lady @njmasisi & Viceminister Nadia Abdalla to support gender-based policies & address the challenges we're facing!

Mayor @andy4wm had some revolutionary ideas on transforming the future of cities. How do you think these changes can be applied to cities around the world and is a #GreenTransition enough to combat #ClimateChange? At #F4GC we believe collaboration is key! kntn.ly/140a449e
