In June 2025, SWEDIWorld took part in the Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice: Path to COP30 and Beyond, a six-day virtual forum of collective action, strategy and movement-building convened by the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International, bringing together more than 125 speakers from over 50 countries across 25 panels.

Day 2: where power meets purpose

SWEDIWorld’s founder reflected that climate justice “is not just about carbon; it is about care, courage and connection”. Sessions highlighted narrative justice, civic climate education and public engagement, and the vision of a legacy COP30. One theme stood out: we must change the minds of decision-makers by centring the lived experiences of women, youth and frontline communities.

A just renewable energy transition

During the Assembly, WECAN launched its report “How Local Community Power is Central to a Just Renewable Energy Transition”. SWEDIWorld stated that it is proud to stand in solidarity with the Women and Gender Constituency and WECAN in advancing climate justice led by women and frontline communities, and shared a call from speaker Roishetta Sibley-Ozane: “Support women. Listen to women. Fund women.”

For SWEDIWorld, the Assembly was also a reminder that African grassroots actors should not just participate in these spaces; they should co-create them.

On 11 June 2025, SWEDIWorld’s Founder and Executive Director announced that she is now a member of the PCCB Network, a global platform committed to strengthening capacity for climate action under the UNFCCC framework.

The membership aligns with SWEDIWorld’s mission to empower women, girls and marginalised communities through climate advocacy, education and sustainable development. Becoming part of the network, the organisation said, expands its reach, deepens its knowledge and opens doors to collaborative solutions to the climate crisis, especially from the perspective of communities on the frontlines.

“Here’s to building resilience, advancing climate justice and creating a safer world together.”
