Pulitzer Center Update April 21, 2021

Beyond “Mother Earth” — Gender and the Environment

Authors:

Women are often the most adversely impacted by climate change and environmental degradation. But they are also the ones who demonstrate strength and leadership against the great challenges we face. Explore the intersection of gender and the environment—how climate change pushes girls into early marriage, what forces women to migrate, and the inspiring stories of Indigenous women who protect the forest from miners and loggers.

Panelists:
- Neha D. Wadekar, independent multimedia journalist
- Nádia Pontes, Amazon Rainforest Journalism Fund grantee
- Danielle Villasana, independent photojournalist and National Geographic Explorer 
- Sara Shipley Hiles (moderator), associate professor, University of Missouri School of Journalism

This session was recorded on April 21, 2021, as part of the Pulitzer Center’s annual conference, Environment (Re)Defined. All conference session recordings will be available on our Webinars On-Demand page.
