We're taking our ‘anthem for climate action and hope’ all the way to the UN’s Paris summit

There's a vibe of hope building that the nations of the world will agree on a breakthrough climate change treaty in Paris this December at the UN Climate Conference (COP21). At this pivotal time, we have an opportunity to influence world leaders in making decisions that will safeguard the world and our climate for future generations.

To do this, 1 Million Women has recorded a cover and music video of a much-loved Australian song, turning 'You're the Voice' into a powerful anthem from women for climate action and hope.

The 'You're The Voice' campaign – a year in the making - is using the positive emotional power of music to inspire people. We couldn't be happier to launch it today.

Using the power of music, we want to inspire every woman, man or child to ADD THEIR VOICE - #IMTHEVOICE - to our anthem and form a united call to world leaders for strong action on climate change.

The Australian celebrity quartet of lead singers are solo artist Deni Hines, country performer and 'Doris Day cover act' Melinda Schneider, soulful popular songster Wendy Matthews, and Aboriginal singer and actor Ursula Yovich, with a cameo appearance by film and TV star Claudia Karvan.

The video clip, which is further populated by beautifully diverse women and girls of all ages and backgrounds, generates a sense of optimism for today's and future generations that has surrounded the forthcoming Paris Climate Conference (COP21) - which runs November 30 to December 11.

1 Million Women CEO and Founder Nat Isaacs is overjoyed to be travelling to Paris to present You're the Voice at the UN climate summit's high-profile Gender Day on December 8th, a few days before the landmark conference wraps up.

The video clip and the song will be hard to ignore.
‘We’ve deliberately posed a very emotional challenge to world leaders for strong action on climate change, and we aim to inspire a sense of hope that change is possible with a united voice,’
