Welcome to 2020 folks! We hope you were able to take some time to yourselves, to get a bit of rest before the onslaught that has already proved to be 2020.
We stand in solidarity with everyone seeking and working towards peace. 500 Women Scientists is deeply committed to a peaceful process that values every human life and every culture. Demilitarization and decarbonization are intrinsically linked and we will continue to use our platform to amplify voices that advocate for peace, environmental and climate justice, and equitable solutions to our planet’s most pressing problems.
