The Institute of International Education, through its Center for Women’s Leadership Initiatives, is pleased to present a panel discussion on Women Impacting Climate Change. Panelists drawn from a delegation representing 18 countries will share their stories as successful, empowered activists and how they use innovative tools and technologies to address climate change.

The Women Climate Leaders are in San Francisco through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), the U.S. Department of State’s premier professional exchange program. Through IVLP, IIE is honored to bring over 1,000 emerging leaders from around the globe to the San Francisco Bay Area each year.

IIE greatly appreciates our partners at Hilton Financial District Hotel, and recognizes their generosity in hosting this community event.
