Last Saturday, at our breakout session "Toward an #ArcticWomenSummit" #ArcticCircle2018, we shared a trailer that captures the essence of #WomenoftheArctic, an event that took place in #Helsinki last month. Have a look and share widely! genderisnotplanb.com/trailer
As negotiations for a #PlasticsTreaty are underway at #INC4 , WoA is extremely happy to finally be able to share that we are partners in @ARCTICEBERG , a new @HorizonEU project focused on climate change and #pollution (incl. plastic pollution!) in the #Arctic. Learn more below.
