Olivia Remes - How Gender Influences the Motivation and Action Towards Climate Change
Mental health coach, life coach and author, Olivia Remes, discusses the impact of the Climate change will lead to widespread adverse global impacts on nature, people and economies. The importance of gender in tackling climate change is becoming increasingly evident, with the Paris Agreement highlighting this. According to the evidence base, women typically show higher levels of concern and action towards climate change within the general public, within politics and on company boards. However, few studies have investigated the influence of gender on climate concerns and action within the workforce. Our study examines this - in particular, it focuses on an industry with one of the largest carbon footprints in the world and that also reports significant gender inequities.
Dr Olivia Remes is an associate at Cambridge University's Engineering Department. However, her research spans both STEM and humanities subjects through its focus on people and well-being. This webinar is for all who are interested in exploring how different areas of study intersect in the real world.
This webinar is suitable for students studying biology, chemistry, geography, psychology, history and politics, philosophy and sociology.
