Make the Zonta District 8 Climate Pledge
The Global Climate Pledge
I have the power to make a positive difference in our climate crisis.

I will use my power to do everything I can, through my actions and my voice, to bring about change.

I will work to center Women and Girls in Climate Solutions in my company, community and nation.

I will lead and encourage others to work as a team to solve this challenge.

Together, we will succeed!

The change begins here, with me, now.

Zonta Member Action

Zonta International calls on its members to:
  1. Increase their own awareness of climate change and on its gender-related consequences and raise awareness locally.
  2. Include gendered climate change advocacy actions in their advocacy plans.
  3. Support the inclusion of women at the national and local tables of decision-makers on environmental sustainability.
  4. Promote girls’ education and the inclusion of climate literacy in schools, as well as to promote girls’ science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) studies to increase gendered scientific and technical contributions to climate change mitigation.
  5. Advocate for national policies that take into account women’s economic opportunities and ensures their full and equal participation in the economy.
The climate is changing and we need to change too.

Zonta calls on its clubs to ask governments and businesses:
  • to uphold the principles of climate justice agreed to in the Paris Agreement and ensure that the most marginalized groups do not bear the brunt of the climate crisis.
  •  to set up more gender-balanced governing bodies to integrate gender-sensitive climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning, as per SDG 13.2 and the Paris Agreement.
  • to arrange education for girls and support girls’ access to education.
  •  to include basic education on climate change and its consequences to nature and societies for all students, recognizing and addressing the social and economic factors aggravated by climate change (as per SDG13.3.1).
  • to ensure that climate adaptation and mitigation plans address the unique needs of women and the barriers to women’s full participation in the economy, including:
    • Childcare and elder-care services.
    • Occupational segregation.
    • Informal work.
    • The gender pay gap.
    • Legal and social restrictions.
  • to include women in the formation of disaster preparedness and response plans. These plans should:
    • Recognize the unique needs of women and girls.
    • Prioritize their health and safety.
    • Include responses to gender-based violence.
