In this episode, Sofiia talks to Katy Wiese, who is a Policy Manager for Economic Transition and Gender Equality at the European Environmental Bureau (EEB). Katy started her professional path at the advertisement agency where the leadership applied gender lens to the workplace which politicised her in this matter. Later she went to work on renewable and sustainability projects in Ghana and Ethiopia, where she experienced climate injustice first hand. It was exactly this experience that made her work on intersection between climate, environment and gender as well as structural inequalities or rather “ecofeminist” policies within her current organisation - EEB. This episode also delves into understanding what ecofeminism is, and how this concept can be applied in today’s European policy realities.
If you want to connect to Katy, check out her LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, as well as the accounts of the European Environmental Bureau - LinkedIn, Twitter.
