Diversifying Voices on Climate Change (DVCC) is a three–year Lottery funded project starting from May 2023 which will tackle the barriers to action on climate change for Black and Ethnic Minority women in Wales. Based at Women Connect First office in Cardiff, the project will reach out to women of colour across Wales in an effort to significantly alter perceptions and challenge stereotypes around who can and does take action around climate change. To achieve this, we will be taking a number of approaches.
