According to the United Nations, one in every 10 women is living in extreme poverty. Historically, climate change scientists, researchers and policymakers have struggled with making the vital connections between gender, social equity, and climate change. But, one serial entrepreneur strongly believes that women - in particular - can be the change-making force in pushing for greater social and economic equity for a greener and healthier planet. On this episode of Mind Your Business, Christine Amour-Levar, Founder & CEO of HER Planet Earth - a global advocacy movement for climate action and female empowerment - shares more about her entrepreneurial journey and leadership strategy to impact positive change for women and the planet.

It's hard to imagine Christmas without reindeer. But long before the beloved antlered animals were pulling Santa's sleigh, they were providing a way of life for indigenous peoples around the world, including the Nenets of Siberia's Yamal Peninsula. The Nenets of Siberia's Yamal Peninsula are among the world's oldest existing true nomads, making a living by herding reindeer in a place that literally translates to ‘the end of the world.' And when Christine Amour-Levar learned that she had a third-degree connection to the tribe, she set about arranging an unprecedented trek to accompany them during their southward migration. Five months later, she was leading the largest - and only all-female - group that the Nenets had ever hosted, as they prepared to live, migrate, and journey alongside the tribe for a week. Cozy up and get ready for an episode that celebrates this traditional symbol of the holidays in a decidedly non-traditional way...even including the occasional consumption of fresh reindeer blood.

70% des femmes sont exposées aux effets néfastes du dérèglement climatique Savez-vous qui sont les plus touchées par le réchauffement climatique ? Ce sont malheureusement les femmes. En Afrique par exemple 70% des femmes sont exposées aux effets néfastes du dérèglement climatique. Quand j'ai compris ce sujet, j'ai souhaité savoir qui pouvait nous en parler. J'ai donc interviewé Christine Amour Levar, fondatrice de deux associations ayant pour but d'aider les femmes dans la précarité : Women on a Mission and Her Planet Earth. Depuis plus de 10 ans, Christine agit grâce à sa fondation à Singapour et ses expéditions pour éveiller sur ces thématiques.   Pourquoi les femmes sont-elles les plus touchées par le rechauffement climatique ?  Comment aider les femmes pour réduire ces inégalités ?  Comment est perçu ce sujet à Singapour ?  Bonne écoute !  ____ Christine sort bientôt un livre sur ses expéditions exceptionnelles : https://penguin.sg/book/wild-wisdom/

We also delve into creating Beijaflora and becoming an entrepreneur; scheduling family time; combining her love for adventure with her social entrepreneurship programs; and the influence Woman on a Mission and HER Planet Earth are having on the woman of war and the underprivileged.

Les Philippines sont, après l'Indonésie, l'autre grand archipel de l'Asie. Avec plus de 7000 îles, les possibilités d'aventures y sont presque infinies. Mais cette fois-ci, nous avons choisi de proposer un autre type de voyage et d'aventure. En compagnie de Christine Amour-Levar, qui est née et a vécu de nombreuses années dans la capitale Manille, nous découvrons d'abord l'île de Siargao, véritable petit paradis tropical et haut lieu du surf dans le pays. Siargao est encore peu connue, mais cela pourrait rapidement changer et des projets de développement du tourisme sont déjà à l'étude. Nous mettons ensuite le cap sur les îles de Palawan, beaucoup plus connues mais où l'exploration prend encore tout son sens. Mais plus que la découverte à proprement parler de ces îles, c'est l'angle du voyage responsable et solidaire de Christine qui intéresse. Elle a en effet fondé l'association "HER Planet Earth" qui vient en aide aux femmes victimes du changement climatique dans le monde. Avec son groupe de femmes volontaires, elle organise régulièrement des expéditions à différents endroits du globe, avec une approche solidaire puisque des fonds sont levés pour soutenir différents projets en lien avec leur cause. C'était le cas avec l'association SEA Movement à Siargao et la fondation Tao Kalahi à Palawan par exemple. Alors laissons-nous voguer entre ces îles magnifiques, au rythme de ces actions responsables qui méritent que l'on en parle !

This International Women's Day, Claressa spoke with Christine Amour Levar, Co-Founder of Women on a Mission, a non-profit organisation that raises money for  causes that support and empower abused women and women survivors of war around the world and her latest initiative, Her Planet Earth which promotes a deeper connection between women empowerment and the integrity of the environment.

Did you catch the last episode of the Doing Good Podcast? I interviewed Christine Amour-Levar, co-founder of Women On A Mission about travel, adventure and using sport to end violence against women. If you didn’t hear it, I highly recommend it, but I may be a bit bias. Anyway, incase you didn’t know, Christine is of French, Swiss and Filipino descent. So while I was in the Philippines last year, I of course reached out to her to let her know I was there and to see if she knew any interesting people that I should connect with while travelling around.   Now interesting is an understatement when thinking of a word to describe who she introduced me to.   This week on the podcast, I’m chatting to the one and only Anne-Marie Bakker. Power-woman. Environmental advocate. Don’t mess with her, passionate, problem-solver, connector. Tree-planter. And all round, bad-ass. She is a solid driving force in the fight for environmental conservation in the Philippines - one of the last remaining tropical rainforest areas.   Some estimates state that forest cover in the Philippines has dropped from 70% down to 20% over the course of the 20th Century (check this report). Forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change because they act as a carbon sink—soaking up carbon dioxide that would otherwise be free in the atmosphere and contribute to ongoing changes in climate patterns. Deforestation undermines this important carbon sink function.   According to WWF, some 46-58 thousand square miles of forest are lost each year—equivalent to 48 football fields every minute, and it is estimated that 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation. So what are the causes of deforestation? Well, illegal logging, fires used to clear land for agriculture, and fuel-wood harvesting.   The impacts are overwhelming. But in this episode we’re going to hear from an environmental warrior extraordinaire. Anne-Marie is truly at the forefront of the effort to restore the lungs of the world.   I remember one night, there was a group of us and we were all chatting. It was late at night and over a few beers and Anne-Marie was telling a story about a time that she was in walking by herself down a dirt road in one of the remote village-islands and how she scared away a group of rowdy guys with a large knife that she was carrying for scenarios like that. If you’re looking for stories of adventure, look no further than Anne-Marie. She is humble, down to earth, and a great storyteller. As the VP Operations & Partnerships at Fostering Education & Environment for Development (FEED) in The Philippines, Anne-Marie chats about how she does it all, her family history of and personal motivation for conservation, as well as some of the projects that she runs; one in particular that I find so fascinating, is the planting for peace program - engaging the people of Mindanao in environmental conservation through tree planting projects with the Philippines Defence Force, as a way of promoting peace in that region. I’m not going to give any more away – I hope you enjoy the show!   Favorite quote from episode: “It should be a given that we give back to the community somehow.”  [24:35]   People/ items mentioned in this episode: Fostering Education & Environment for Development (FEED) COP 21 - Paris Pope Francis says destroying the environment is a sin Living Legacy Ridge to Reef (R2R) – Watershed Rehabilitation Students & Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE) Philippine Environmental Legislation FEED Ambassadors   Get in contact with Anne-Marie by email or through the FEED Facebook page, Instagram or website.   Show notes “We realized it was the right time to engage the public at large to generate awareness about the need to reforest 70% of our lost forest cover in the Philippines” [08:15] Anne-Marie gives us a bit of background about the environmental situation in the Philippines [17:30] How does FEED measure social impact?

Of French, Swiss and Filipino descent, Christine Amour-Levar is Social Entrepreneur, Marketing Consultant and Author who passionately believes in women empowering each other. She grew up between Manila, Paris and Tokyo and is currently based in Singapore, where she lives with her husband and four children. After graduating from Sophia University in Tokyo, with a BA in International Business and Economics, and a minor in Japanese language, she embarked on a fulfilling career that took her across Europe, Asia, North and South America for brands such as Nike, McCann-Erickson, Philippe Starck and her own Brazilian fashion retail business, Beijaflor. After selling her retail business in 2010, she went on to write the motivational guide, The Smart Girl’s Handbook to Being Mummylicious, published in May 2012.   Today, Christine heads Marketing and Communications at Temasek Trust and Temasek Management Services, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Temasek Holdings, a global investment firm headquartered in Singapore.

She is someone who I really admire because of her personal and professional accomplishments. You’ll hear me say it a few times in this episode, but I honestly don’t know how she has the time to do everything that she does. Having said that, I think when you’ve found that sweet spot in your life where you can use the skills that you’re good at while you work at something that you’re passionate about, the time you spend on work, doesn’t seem like work at all. Christine co-founded Women on a Mission - a social enterprise that combines travel, sport and adventure with her passion to end violence against women. Now I’m not talking about leisurely travel here, some of their recent missions have included one to Iran in November 2016 where they trekked 200km of dessert. They also recently went to Jordan for rock climbing, Siberia to live with the nomadic Nenets reindeer herders and even up to Everest Base Camp in 2012. These trips are not for the faint-hearted. We’ll chat about how they do these trips, prepare for them and how these trips contribute to the fight to end violence against women. Let’s get in to the show!    Favorite quote from episode: “It may sound cliché, but I really believe that if you follow your passion and you do that throughout your life - even through the tough times when you think ‘oh I should just get safe job’ or, ‘I should just stick to something that is less flamboyant or risky’, but I think that if you do that continuously through your life, it ends up all just coming together.” – Christine [20:50]   People/ items mentioned in this episode: Women On A Mission Smart Girl’s Handbook to Being Mummylicious  Women for Women International Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) UN Women Singapore Pertapis Children’s Home Singapore Changemaker workshop (AWARE)     Get in contact with Christine on her website, Twitter, or through Women On A Mission   Show notes What is Women On A Mission?
