Agnes Scott’s “Building a Better World” Women’s Leadership Conference Goes Virtual!

September 8, 2021

In light of the surge in Covid-19 cases, and with the safety of conference participants and the Agnes Scott college community in mind, Agnes Scott College has made the difficult decision to hold the “Building a Better World: Women and Climate Justice” conference virtually this year on September 23-25.

Agnes Scott College’s second annual Women’s Global Leadership Conference will convene internationally recognized scholars, private sector experts, political leaders, and community activists to engage in intentional conversations, form innovative partnerships for addressing climate injustice, and develop creative strategies for building more resilient communities.

Women frequently bear the brunt of the social violence, political instability, and environmental degradation caused by climate change but at the same time, they are also important change agents in the transition to a more sustainable and just future. With the “Building a Better World” conference Agnes Scott combines its strong commitment to sustainability and its innovative SUMMIT global learning and leadership experience to address the full range of climate-justice experiences of women and other marginalized identities.
