Episode 03 – From Ego-centric to Eco-centric – restoring balance with a feminine world view

Here, in conversation with Mamta, Cindy highlights how the exclusion of women was entrenched in the patriarchal world view that authorised the pillage of Mother Earth. The continued absence of a balanced place for a female world view/ divine feminine has led to the accelerated breakdown of our climate and biodiversity. The lack of representation of women in decision making on climate impedes us in finding the solutions we so desperately need. This episode highlights how women in the global south and marginalised communities bear the brunt of climate change and yet are the most excluded in national and international climate decision making. Even though they often are the most resourceful and have already innovated effective solutions in their local context.

In this powerful podcast, Mamta shares from her work, where she is dedicated to ensuring women, in all their diversity, are included as active participants in climate leadership and policy making processes. She explores how this necessarily extends to the full inclusion of women at all levels of corporate and political infrastructure. As someone who actively campaigns for inclusion and diversity by working closely with governments and collaborating with like-minded organisations, Mamta gives us insight into what these organisations and companies gain from this cooperation and how the full inclusion of women strengthens and advantages the whole organisational eco-system.
