Building resilience, improving equity: Scaling equitable, community-owned climate action
Join us during London Climate Action Week to explore how community-led, gender-inclusive climate action boosts resilience, health and equity.
Climate change exacerbates global inequities, particularly for women. Join us at LSHTM during London Climate Action Week for an interactive event with leading voices in research and implementation discussing how community-led climate action builds resilience and improves gender equity. Through lightning talks and a panel discussion, we will reflect on global case studies from climate-vulnerable countries and regions, demonstrating inclusive, impactful, resilient crisis-response and how innovative partnerships, programmes and policies contribute.
A cross-sector panel will explore the importance of incorporating gender, health and livelihoods considerations into resilience measurement, and discuss how inclusive, transformative approaches and partnerships can be embedded across research, programmes and governance.
Attendees will learn from successful community-led approaches to climate resilience and gain practical insights into building more equitable responses to climate-related challenges. Participants will be encouraged to challenge conventional approaches and explore how funders, policymakers, practitioners and researchers can "do things differently" to support more inclusive and effective climate action.
The event will be of particular interest to implementers, funders, policymakers, researchers and others working to strengthen equitable climate resilience and protect health and livelihoods in a changing climate.

The panel discussion will take place from 17:30 - 19:00, followed by a 1-hour in-person drinks reception in the Pumphandle Social.
