History was made recently as two women made it to the highest echelons of power in the political world. Halla Tómasdóttir in Iceland and Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico, were elected president.

Despite a growth in democracies around the world, only 26 countries are led by women and over a third of UN member states have never had a woman head of state.

What does the leadership playbook look like for female political leaders moving forward, and how important are women in the fight against climate change?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Mona Lena Krook, Distinguished Professor, Political Science & Chair, Women & Politics PhD Program, Rutgers University.
