"As a woman in the climate movement, I am encouraged by The Solutions Project's Women's Climate Week," said Elizabeth Yeampierre. "Across the nation and especially here in New York, women have been at the forefront of some of our biggest climate and environmental justice wins. Our most recent example: NYSERDA's $200 million investment to make the frontline community of Sunset Park an offshore wind energy hub. This project will generate thousands of local jobs and accelerate New York's transition to a carbon-free and more just and equitable future."
"Women are problem solvers, leaders, creators, and the backbones of our families, communities, organizations, businesses - nearly everything," Walton said. "We've seen this throughout history and throughout the evolution of the climate movement. Please join us in celebrating these climate history makers this week and every week."
