  • WCJC | Feminist Climate Justice Poetry Night
    Aug 6 2021

    The Women's Climate Justice Collective and One Woman Project warmly welcome you to come along to our poetry night celebrating intersectional feminism and climate justice.

    WCJC is a national collective aiming to mainstream intersectional feminist climate justice.

    WCJC strives to be feminist, intersectional, inclusive, diverse, child-friendly, and safe. Our mission is to: 1) mainstream intersectional feminist climate justice;

    2) support women and nb folks in the feminist and climate justice movements;

    and 3) demand that intersectional feminism is incorporated into the climate justice movement, and climate justice is incorporated into the feminist movement.

    We aim to bring more feminists and feminist perspectives into the climate movement to build capacity and consciousness. We also aim to illuminate in feminist spaces and groups, how the climate crisis especially affects women, and the need for gender-just climate solutions. Our main objectives are to grow as a collective, and develop resources, workshops and events to increase understanding of intersectional feminist climate justice.

  • Climactic Features | The Magnitude of All Things
    Jun 11 2021

    The Magnitude of All Things is a cinematic exploration of the emotional and psychological dimensions of climate change.

    When Jennifer Abbott lost her sister to cancer, her sorrow opened her up to the profound gravity of climate breakdown, drawing intimate parallels between the experiences of grief—both personal and planetary. Stories from the frontlines of climate change merge with recollections from the filmmaker’s childhood on Ontario’s Georgian Bay. What do these stories have in common? The answer, surprisingly, is everything.

    This is a conversation about making beautiful, compelling climate-engaged media with Sundance award-winning documentary maker Jennifer Abbott, and composer Rob Law.

  • Climactic Features | Investigating "Inconceivable" with director Jayde Harding
    May 28 2021

    Special guest host Amruta Nargundkar from Heckin' Concerned (www.heckinconcerned.com). 

    Inconceivable is a film that recently ran on ABC Compass. Amruta and I speak to the director Jayde Harding about the making of and response to the film, her engagement with the climate crisis, and the broader topic of 'birthstrike'.

    In the age of the global climate crisis many young Australians are struggling with the part of them that has always wanted and imagined having kids and the part of them that is terrified for the kind of future those children might have. Inconceivable explores these anxieties and how they are playing out in the lives of 5 Australians at different stages of building a family.

    Many of the subjects of this documentary have previously appeared on Climactic, and you can fine those appearances below.
