SHE Changes Climate India Network

On 12 April 2024, the India Network was launched, marking its entry into India’s vibrant ecosystem of climate and gender advocacy. Chetana Naskar (India Network Lead) and Mamta Borgoyary (Executive Director) represented the SHE Changes Climate movement.

With the support of the All India Women's Conference (AIWC) and the Human Touch Foundation for Women, the event brought together participants from academia, grassroots women-led organisations, philanthropy, non-governmental organisations, youth, and international NGOs.

The launch highlighted the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and the necessity of equitable women's participation in climate decision-making. It also fostered collaborative partnerships with like-minded organisations, climate advocates, and individuals working towards a shared goal of promoting inclusion, diversity, and sustainable futures.

Key takeaways span around themes of empowerment, inclusion, and cross-sectoral collaboration in climate action.

The India Network is committed to driving systemic change by promoting gender-inclusive policies, building resilience within communities, and elevating the voices of women and girls in marginalised communities, particularly those disproportionately affected by climate change.
