Women in Climate Science Resource Library

Welcome to Cervest’s Climate Science Resource Library. 

This page forms part of our dedicated Women in Climate Science Hub, created to support the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.  

Populated with recommendations from the Cervest team, this library is packed full of insightful materials to help you explore climate change, science, and the work of pioneering women in even more detail.  

We will be updating this resource on a regular basis, so make sure you come back and check out the latest thought-provoking entries. If you want to keep up to speed with Cervest’s climate and Climate Intelligence-related content, make sure you sign up to our newsletter.
