“Women represent a $32 trillion market, make 85% of population – and bring different perspectives and ideas to the table. Importantly, women and girls also bear the brunt of the effects of climate change. Yet, women comprise a fraction of corporate leaders and investment, which does not make good business sense,” said Joan Michelson, host of Electric Ladies Podcast and co-executive producer and emcee of The Earth Day Women’s Summit. “The Earth Day Women’s Summit provides a platform to highlight women’s unique and necessary perspectives and solutions to address the climate crisis that grow economies, protect communities, and improve the quality of our lives.”
The Earth Day Women’s Summit is a collaboration between EarthX, Electric Ladies Podcast and Global Green, who collectively reach millions of consumers, influentials, leaders and communities worldwide. It is produced by Joan Michelson, CEO of Green Connections Media and host of Electric Ladies Podcast, a leading voice and community of women in climate, energy, sustainability and ESG, and William Bridge, CEO of Global Green, an international environmental non profit founded by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Michelson also writes for Forbes as a contributor and appears in other media.
“Women’s inclusion at the leadership level has led to improved outcomes for not only themselves, but their communities, the economy, society, and for climate action,” said William Bridge, CEO of Global Green and co executive producer of this Summit. “Participants will have a rare opportunity to workshop climate crisis challenges and network with experts to build solutions that make our communities brighter, more resilient, economically robust and culturally vibrant.”
