RE[sonate] Women in (Climate) Action

Thursday, November 13

Join us for a night of inspiring conversation with women at the forefront of climate action in Northern Ireland. From grassroots organising to shaping policy, these changemakers are driving bold solutions and reimagining what a just, resilient, and sustainable Belfast can look like. Through resonating powerful storytelling, they’ll share their personal journeys, the highs and hurdles of being women in the climate space, along with honest reflections and calls to action.

Hear powerful stories, unfiltered truths, and bold visions that will spark hope for a thriving, sustainable future.
