“Litigation is only ever as powerful as the movement that’s behind it.
Social movements are what matter and what effect change.”

So here are some more great examples of why climate change is a man made problem with an intersectional feminist solution:
1. The brilliant and powerful @StrikeClimate movement - led by girls - https://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/it-s-no-accident-that-girls-are-leading-the-climate-movment-20191008-p52ypu.html

2. The leadership of @SeedMob started by National Director and Bundjalung woman, Amelia Telford, set to become Australia’s first Indigenous youth-led environmental organisation http://www.medianet.com.au/releases/194683/
3. The courage and commitment of @EJ_Aus clients @clairegalvin__ and Brooklyn O’Hearne from North Queensland to not just work with legal and scientific experts in their climate advocacy, but to consistently speak up for their community - https://www.mamamia.com.au/adani-coal-mine-legal-action/
4. The work of Original Power, led by Karrina Nolan, descendent of the Yorta Yorta people in Victoria https://www.originalpower.org.au/about_us
5. The 1000+ senior Swiss women taking the Swiss government to the European Court of Human Rights over their weak climate policies https://www.greenpeace.org/international/story/45693/swiss-climate-seniors-call-for-justice/
6. The work of intersectional feminists in the USA working on a feminist Green New Deal http://feministgreennewdeal.com/principles/ #femgnd
7. The #VicGasBan - in 2016 community organising particularly by @FoEAustralia led to the Andrews Labor government announcing that a permanent ban on unconventional gas is to be legislated in Victoria. The effort was led and won by young women leaders https://counteract.org.au/6-things-won-vicgasban/
8. Finally, here’s a great piece by @TIME on 15 women leading the fight against climate change across all areas of society: https://time.com/5669038/women-climate-change-leaders/?amp=true
