The stage is set for an unparalleled national level gathering of visionary leaders, changemakers and advocates at the Victorian Women’s Climate Congress 2025.
Taking place from March 28-30 at the Castlemaine Town Hall, this event is a beacon for women, in all diversity, to drive meaningful action for climate sustainability.
The Congress will feature a dynamic program of keynotes, workshops and panel discussions that delve into critical issues facing Australia, from climate resilience, innovative governance and business practices, to cultural inclusivity and women’s leadership.
Women’s Climate Congress founder Dr Janet Salisbury said the Congress was an important national event that would bring women together to creative transformative change.
“We come together to create a space for women to bring priorities to the fore, to lead a systemic change that would allow governments to take much more ambitious action on climate,” she said.
The Women’s Climate Conference, established in 2020 to address climate change through inclusion, collaboration and women’s leadership, has spoken to thousands of women since its inception. Their priorities have been used to inform the Women’s Charter for Change, which is designed to provide a framework for action.
“Our Charter for Change has 11 themed actions, three of them are about the things we have to do right now to secure the climate, which largely involve a lot more collaboration,” she said.
“Then there are eight key areas about planetary and human wellbeing that are all of the things the women we speak to bring to the table. They are; inter-generational fairness, incorporating Indigenous knowledge, working on relationship building, creating a sustainable economy that is based on care rather than just on business and profits, a wellbeing economy – a suite of things that women would like to bring to the table if they really had access to the policy agenda in a fully authentic way,” Dr Salisbury said.
With a theme of ‘Building women’s empowerment in the climate crisis’, the 2025 event will offer a unique platform for collaboration, learning and action.
Renowned thought leaders, politicians and innovators will share insights on the global and local challenges of our time, inspiring attendees to turn vision into action.
