Heinz Award Winners Amira Diamond & Melinda Kramer – Women's Earth Alliance On today's show, Heinz Award for the Environment recipients Amira Diamond and Melinda Kramer, co-founders and co-executive directors of the Women's Earth Alliance. Women's Earth Alliance WEA empowers women's leadership in the environmental space because women are often most affected by environmental issues, yet are unrecognized for their expertise, underrepresented in decision-making processes and underfunded. Unlike top-down approaches, WEA collaborates directly with women leaders on the ground, leveraging their deep knowledge and expertise. WEA's holistic approach provides funding, communication tools, advocacy training, technical skills, business incubators and an in-country network of trainers and peers. Heinz Award for the Environment Established by Teresa Heinz in 1993 to honor the memory of her late husband, U.S. Senator John Heinz, the Heinz Awards celebrate the accomplishments and spirit of the Senator by recognizing the extraordinary achievements of individuals in the areas of greatest importance to him. The post Heinz Award for the Environment Recipients – Women's Earth Alliance appeared first on KPFA.
