Sallie’s Opinion

What if more women were in charge at COP26?

It’s important to recognize that a world that is going in the wrong direction today has more of a negative impact on women, and particularly women of color.

The most recent example of this is the pandemic, which set women back financially by years; for some, it set them back by decades.

Another, urgent example: climate change.

Climate change ultimately impacts women and girls more than men. (Also, men have a larger carbon footprint than women — by 16%.)

And yet women are all but shut out of the “room where it happens.”

We asked whether you feel like the actions you’re taking could make your retirement dreams possible, and you answered:

HECK YES

52%


NO, PLS HELP		48%
