Time magazine featured her as one of 15 “women who will save the world.” Co-founder of the All We Can Save project, Dr Wilkinson’s work focuses on storytelling, education, community building, and nurturing the leaderful climate community we need for a life-giving future. In our conversation, we talk about how we arrived at this moment, what needs to happen to drive lasting change, and how you can be a climate leader no matter your background or profession. As Dr Wilkinson has said, "the only credential that is needed is to be alive on this planet in this moment.” Some topics we cover include: How “The Grandmother of Climate Science” was lost to history after her work was credited to a man The important intersection of feminism and climate leadership Why equity isn't just secondary to survival, but it is survival The current reality of global warming and climate change The solutions - technology, policies, storytelling, leadership equity Ways to ensure justice is embedded in the solutions How the All We Can Save project is helping to change the climate leadership landscape And more!

Om Podcasten

They say it’s a man’s world... so what does that mean for the rest of us? This podcast is on a mission to find out.  The consequences of woman's exclusion from our world are so deeply embedded that they are all but impossible to see... unless you are looking. Featuring interviews with those who explore our world through the female gaze, The Story of Woman looks at everything from the economy, healthcare, gender roles, and more. Each episode dives deep into where we are, how we got here, and what still needs to be changed in order to (finally) rewrite the story of mankind to become the story of humankind. To us, ‘woman’ means all those who presently identify as such - regardless of which body they were born with. This includes other marginalized genders such as those who identify as non-binary, gender fluid, or anywhere else on the spectrum of gender.
