Join us on 13th March for an in-person panel and networking evening on the topic of Empowering Women and Girls for a Climate-Resilient Future. This event aligns with the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day, #AccelerateAction. The panel will focus on the role of climate education in accelerating action for women and girls, with a particular focus on the life skills needed for adaptation, leadership and advocacy, and collaboration between donors, international development organisations and academia.
This panel event aims to explore the vital role of life skills in empowering women and girls to combat climate change within their communities. Through a series of discussions, we will delve into the specific life skills that are crucial for women and girls, both now and in the future, to take effective climate action. By examining current barriers that prevent these skills from being acquired, we will identify successful approaches and key stakeholders to engage with to remove these obstacles. The panel will also highlight how education can empower girls to innovate and create solutions for climate-related challenges.
Collaboration between researchers and practitioners to enhance climate education programs for schools and communities is crucial. The panel will explore how we can bridge the gap and encourage collaboration to ensure climate education remains both relevant and deliverable.
We will be joined by colleagues from the University of Sussex, Cambridge Education Mott MacDonald. Climate Sense, and more!
