Building resilience, improving gender 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.
Sarah Champion MP, Chair of the UK Parliamentary Select Committee on International Development, will give keynote remarks.
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. This event is organised by the The Centre for Maternal, Adolescent, Reproductive, and Child Health (MARCH) and Centre on Climate Change & Planetary Health (CCCPH) at LSHTM, the Margaret Pyke Trust (MPT), and co-sponsored by (PAI).

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