Two powerful phenomena are unfolding on Earth: the rise of the climate movement and the rise of women and girls. Events like the People's Climate March and the Women's March, along with school strikes for climate and the #MeToo movement, illustrate this connection. The global warming crisis disproportionately affects women due to existing gender inequalities. In many regions, women serve as primary caregivers and providers of food and fuel, making them more vulnerable to climate-related disasters. The U.N. estimates that 80% of those displaced by climate change are women. Positioned at the forefront of the climate battle, women are uniquely equipped to drive change, finding ways to mitigate global warming and adapt to its impacts. Across the globe, women are stepping into leadership roles, advocating for climate action in boardrooms, policy positions, local communities, and through activism. This anthology celebrates these diverse voices, posing critical questions and offering valuable insights and solutions. Curated by two climate leaders, it guides us away from peril and toward the potential for a sustainable future.

Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, renowned marine biologist and co-founder of the All We Can Save climate initiative, compiles the best science and nature writing of the year.

Claudia Comte (1983, Grancy, Switzerland) has long since developed from a shooting star of the Swiss art scene into an internationally sought-after artist. Claudia Comte complements the transgression and combination of different techniques and disciplines by juxtaposing materials such as wood and marble, which she works in the traditional manner of sculpture, with industrially produced elements. 00In the Kunstraum Dornbirn, Comte has created an environmental installation that immerses us in an artificial underwater landscape littered with ennoble marble debris. Suspended above an arrangement of 40 intricately rendered marble can sculptures hangs a gigantic text fragment by American marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson. Taking the form of wave movements, the text becomes primary material for Comte?s geometrical iconography, which is always grounded in the natural world. In The Sea of Darkness language distorts into slippery image.00Exhibition: Kunstraum Dornbirn, Austria (03.12.2020 - 18.04.2021).
