NEED
The unique perspective of women, indigenous people, and minority groups can play a pivotal role in addressing the climate crisis. Their voices are crucial for tackling it. Showcasing the inspiring stories of the people living on the frontlines of the climate crisis is important in raising awareness. The goal is to help create a global movement that transcends borders and unites us in our efforts to safeguard the environment and create a sustainable future for all. The biggest challenges in the advocacy through art & films is funding and getting access to mainstream platforms to share these marginalized voices.
Call-to-Action
My call to action for the Earth One community is to elevate the global conversation on desertification, forced migration and gender inequality by highlighting its interconnectedness. Raising awareness on these issues by amplifying the voices of indigenous peoples, minorities and women, and emphasizing the importance of solutions like technology, gender empowerment and more.
