Our Mission
The Women and Girl’s Advocacy team of the UUCC Climate Crisis Committee works to reduce the effects of climate change by promoting justice for women and girls through policy, actions and direct aid.
Changing policy and supporting organizations dealing with women and girls’ issues can have a profound effect on reducing greenhouse gases that threaten our planet.
