Intersections with Climate Change in International Development

The BEI ‘Intersections with Climate Change’ event series brings a focus on the intersections of climate change remediation and adaptation with other development priorities. Each event provides a platform for dialogue between experts in these different areas and aims to highlight the issues and potential solutions, providing a platform for members and their key stakeholders to showcase the work they are conducting in these spaces and the remedies they are developing for these issues.

In this session, we will take a broad view and touch on a variety of intersections with climate change, providing a platform to discuss how organisations are addressing these in terms of:

• Making interventions more sustainable in the face of a changing climate
• Working with communities for social climate adaptation
• Working with beneficiaries for sustainable outcomes
• The role of behaviour change and challenges to sustained commitments
• Taking into account co-benefits but also potential threats

Our panel will showcase how they are adapting their approach in response to climate change across their programmes and interventions, relating to various intersections with climate change: health, education, equity, conflict prevention, migration, agriculture, etc.

As usual, we look forward to discussion and Q&A with the audience in the second half of the session.
