1 June 2018 - Under Her Eye, London
Curated by the brilliant Invisible Dust, ‘Under Her Eye: Women and Climate Change’, is an international Summit and Arts Festival that will explore and celebrate the role of women taking action on climate change, as part of the 2018 Suffrage Centenary.
As the UN Special Envoy on Climate Change Mary Robinson asserted: ‘the challenges of climate change cannot be solved without empowering women’. Throughout the day a range of panel talks, in-conversations, workshops and performances will engage, provoke and inspire on this topic.

Caroline Lucas, Co-Leader, UK Green Party
Hakima El Haité, Moroccan Minister for the Environment and COP22 Host
Jessica Ground, Global Head of Stewardship, Schroders
Maaike Van Min, former Head of Development and Strategy, Marie Stopes
