Since resigning the presidency of Ireland, Mary Robinson has been one of the most powerful voices for third world equality issues, climate change action and the empowerment of women to help solve these issues.

In this video Ms Robinson discusses how climate change has a greater impact on women in 3rd world countries and that there is an enormous body of knowledge bound up in the coping mechansims used by these women.

It’s just one of many reasons for elevating more women to leadership roles within the ongoing policy updates surrounding climate change.

Mary Robinson will be in Australia in September 2012. Please call or email the O2 team on 02 9818 5199 for bookings.
