What the Conversation Will Focus On
Where women are systematically filtered out from data and design to funding and scale
How AI for climate can unintentionally reinforce existing inequities if inclusion is not built in by design
Practical actions different ecosystem actors can take to embed a gender lens in capital allocation, policy frameworks, and product development
The discussion is grounded in real-world ecosystem experience and moves deliberately from insight to action.
