Eamon Ryan launches initiative led by National Women’s Council and Community Work Ireland
, who said “radical, urgent and innovative changes are needed to avert the worst impacts of climate change”. This means people have to work collectively to ensure communities, families and livelihoods are protected and supported “so we can also benefit from the opportunities that climate action can bring”.
“Too often, however, decisions about how these changes can be made overlook the needs of those most affected. We know globally that women and children are the most impacted, but have the least responsibility, for the climate devastation we are now seeing almost daily,” Mr Ryan said. This injustice required that the needs and views of women are central to decisions and actions taken in addressing the crisis, he said.
“A feminist community work approach to climate justice means acknowledging and tackling the root causes of inequality and climate injustice – the same systems that oppress marginalised groups also harm the planet,” said Ann Irwin of CWI. The project would, she said, enable marginalised communities and women to assert their voices “as the people who experience the impact of decisions that fail to consider their lived experiences and concerns”.
