An avid believer in women as Gamechangers with unique knowledge and solutions to move the needle on sustainability, Christine founded HER Planet Earth, a global women’s advocacy movement that promotes gender equality and the integrity of the environment. The group's strategy is to organise and promote campaigns and expeditions that increase visibility of the movement and raise funds for programmes that empower and educate underprivileged women affected by climate change.
HER Planet Earth partners with nature lovers, environmentalists, polar explorers, adventurers, women’s rights advocates, feminists and NGOs that have programmes and structures in place dedicated to building a deeper connection between gender equality, genuinely sustainable development and the protection of the environment. Ultimately, HER Planet Earth's mission is to create a world where human rights and environmental integrity can blossom and prosper.

What's the connection?
At the heart of sustainable development is a respect for all fundatmental human rights as well as accountability to the earth and future generations. Climate change and environmental degradation are barriers to sustainable development, augmenting existing inequalities. In many countries, women are among the most vulnerable to climate change and environmental impacts, partly because they make up the larger share of the agricultural workforce and tend to have access to fewer income-earning jobs. However, women are also at the forefront of change. They are Gamechangers, with unique knowledge and solutions to move the needle on sustainability.
