Women in Climate (WiC) network
Women in Climate (WiC) network
In 2024 we are hoping to be able to run some events in a hybrid format to enable both virtual participants to attend from a range of locations as well as to allow members to begin to interact in person. We hope to follow the rough pattern: in each 4 month period we will aim to have one event hybrid with the in-person aspect at the University, one event hybrid at the Met Office, and at least one event online only. Hopefully this will allow everyone to engage with our events on a regular basis. All of our meetings are advertised on our website at least a couple of months in advance to help with calendar planning and enable people to have the best chance of being able to attend.
Recently we have had a number of people reach out asking if we will be recording an upcoming session. We do not record any of our events. Our motivation for not recording our events is that we want to create an open forum for discussion without compromising how we express ourselves for fear of a recording being publicly available. However, the main points from a meeting are normally written up in a blog style article which you can access on our ‘Past Events’ page.
For each WiC event, we send out an email a week before with the Teams link so you can join in the discussion. If you would like to sign-up to our mailing list please contact one of our organisers (see here for list of organisers).

The Women in Climate network is excited to invite you to a discussion on the ‘Gender Pay Gap’. While the gender pay gap has been slowly declining over time, significant disparities in pay between men and women still exist with women earning an average of 91p for every £1 a man earns (according to official government data).

Theme: WiC in person relaunch.

We would be delighted to see you for our relaunch of in-person events. So often now we join network events online as it fits better with our busy lifestyles, because we are not on campus or because we don’t like in-person events much. But one of the core benefits to Women in Climate is the in-person discussion, meeting other members and making connections with people. Which is why we are hosting an in-person relaunch of Women in Climate with wine, beer, non-alcoholic options and some snacks. Please join us!
