By Nicole Systrom, founder of Sutro Energy Group

Like most moms-to-be, I felt a mixture of total joy and utter terror when I learned my husband and I were expecting. My own doubts about my fitness to bring a child into this world tempered the elation I felt that…well, that I’d be bringing a child into this world!

Amid that whirlwind of emotions, I also felt another pang, much deeper in my stomach: the fear that our child would enter a world where the clock was ticking. Where climate change would be an unstoppable, devastating and life-altering force. Where the world my child would live in could be very different, possibly catastrophically so. It was an awful feeling of powerlessness.

**What’s the best way to combat that feeling?** *As we look ahead to 2022, it’s important that we get to work, bringing to bear all the resources we, as women investors, have on this problem*. One of the best parts of these efforts for me over the past 15 years has been doing it in community with other women.

**Begin by** 1) Taking Charge of Finances: Align Your Portfolio. 2) Considering Impactful Nonprofits: Make Your Giving Climate Forward. and 3) Raising Your Voice: Engage Policymakers.

**Read more about each one of these and more in my full article here** - <https://greenmoney.com/the-women-leading-the-climate-change-fight-and-how-we-can-support-them>
