Stop Climate Chaos Cymru
NFWI-Wales is a member of Stop Climate Chaos Cymru. The coalition was launched on 1 September 2005 at St Fagans National History Museum, followed by a political event informing the Welsh Assembly Government of what needs to be done to tackle climate change. Stop Climate Chaos Cymru supported the mass mobilisation I Count event in London on 4 November 2006.

During 2007 the Coalition has been busy lobbying the four main political parties by organising fringe events at each of the party conferences. Marylyn Haines Evans represented the WI at the Conservative Party Conference in Cardiff. She told party delegates that WI members are known champions in their communities and are doing all in their power to take individual action to raise awareness of climate change and to make the necessary lifestyle changes possible within their homes and their communities.
Women are affected differently from men – more women die in climate induced disasters than men and women are likely to suffer the long term consequences because of their different positions and role in many societies around the world"
