Today marks the day when the Feminist Climate Ambassadors of 2021 meet for the first time!
A total of 21 ambassadors were selected from amongst 99 applications. Our selected ambassadors come from 14 European countries and represent 18 nationalities. All have unique experience relating to climate and feminism, and all share a strong motivation to change the world for better.
The training runs for 6 months and culminates in study trips to Brussels and Glasgow.
First meeting is about getting to know each other, orienting to the themes and setting direction for the coming months. The guest expert for the first meeting is Alviina Alametsä, MEP.
