SUMMARY:Resilience Hub: Regional Virtual Summit
DESCRIPTION:Unpacking the Resilience and Care Nexus: Why is it important?  \nEmerging evidence suggests that climate change and environmental degradation increase and intensify women’s and girls’ unpaid care\, domestic\, and communal work due in part to the increased frequency and intensity of extreme climate events and the reduced availability of natural resources such as food\, fuel and water. Displacement and health impacts of climate change and environmental degradation also increase unpaid care work. Climate related disasters also reduce the supply of care services\, as they disrupt infrastructure\, transportation\, and communication systems. Moreover\, climate change and natural disasters exacerbate existing gender\, economic and geopolitical inequalities and vulnerabilities in the care economy\, as they more severely affect poor\, rural\, and marginalized groups. At the same time\, women are leaders in climate action\, many of their activities\, such as composting\, gardening\, or caring for water and biodiversity\, also imply community-centered care work which is also unpaid. Ironically\, these increase time poverty. Care responsibilities curtail women’s participation in climate decision-making and limit opportunities for them to engage in green jobs fostered by the low-carbon transition. Investing in care systems can increase resilience to climate change. \nGiven the interdependence of the care and climate crises\, it is increasingly evident that they need to be addressed together and that an integrated approach would accelerate progress on both fronts. A limited understanding and an incomplete knowledge base on the climate resilience and care connections diminishes the effectiveness of climate change adaptation strategies and neglects the opportunity to address inequality and the climate crisis at the same time. \nSupported by Canada’s International Development Research Centre\, the Climate and Care Initiative seeks to integrate the agendas of care and climate action\, demonstrating their interconnections\, and learning and supporting concrete practices\, including those advanced by ecofeminist movements and grassroots organizations. The initiative is led by a Consortium coordinated by the AVINA Foundation\, with Oxfam Canada and UNRISD\, and in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Care. \nThis session will unpack the care and climate intersections to strengthen climate resilience through recognizing and addressing the unequal distribution of care work. The session will also discuss how to integrate care into climate resilience policy and projects; highlighting the importance of care as a climate resilience measure. It will also share information on a new catalytic fund that will finance grassroot organizations that are implementing initiatives addressing the climate & care nexus in Latin America and the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa. \n\n\n\nTime\nSpeaker/Facilitator\nAgenda Items\n\n\n14:00-14:10 (10 min)\nMaria Gracia Aguilar\, Coordinator at \nFundacion Avina\nWelcome Introduction to the session’s agenda and objectives.\n\n\n14:10-14:30 \n(20 min)\nModerator: Ana Moreno\, Technical Secretary at Global Alliance for Care \nSpeakers: \n·      Francisco Cos Montiel\, Senior Research Coordinator at UNRISD \n·      Ankita Panda\, Senior Program Officer\, Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality at The Asia Foundation \n·      Sonia Phalatse\, Researcher of the Climate and Inequality programme at SCIS at University of the Witwatersrand\, Johannesburg (Wits)\nRoundtable Q1: Why is it important to explore the intersection between climate resilience and care? \n  \nModerator presents each speaker and the question. \nEach speaker has 5 min to respond.\n\n\n14:30-14:50 \n(20 min)\nModerator: Ana Moreno\, Technical Secretary at Global Alliance for Care \nSpeakers: \n–       Anne Barre\, Climate Action | Policy & Programmes Coordinator at WECF Violet Shivutse\, Chair and Regional \n–       Representative for Africa at Huairou Commission (TBC) \n–       Jeannette Gurung\, Executive Director at WOCAN (TBC) \n–       Luana Simoes Pinheiro\, Director of Care Economy at Ministry of Development and Social Assistance\, Family and Fight Against Hunger (TBC)\nRoundtable Q2: How can we integrate care into climate resilience policy and \nprojects? \n  \nModerator presents each speaker and the question. \n  \nEach speaker has 5 min to respond.\n\n\n14:50-15:00 \n(10 min)\nErin Tansey\, Director\, Sustainable Inclusive \nEconomies at Canada’s International \nDevelopment Research Centre – IDRC\nConclusion \nConclusion on the panel and next steps on the Climate and Care Initiative.\n\n\n\n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:COP29: From Global to Local – Financing Sustainable Women-led Climate Solutions
DESCRIPTION:As the global climate crisis intensifies\, the role of women in driving innovative\, sustainable\, and nature-based solutions has become increasingly vital. However\, women-led climate initiatives often face significant barriers in accessing the necessary financial resources. \nThis panel will explore the nexus between women’s leadership environmental protection\, conservation and climate interventions and outcomes\, and discuss how initiatives can be better resourced\, supported\, and reflected in climate policy. \nPanelists will also present an example of how an agroforestry/forest conservation project in Cote d’Ivoire promotes women’s leadership and benefits for women through local women’s groups\, using the W+ Standard to quantify and monetize outcomes that provide sustained revenue to national and regional women’s organizations engaged in forest management in West and Central Africa. \nSpeakers: Vital Voices Network Women\, Climate Leaders\, Vital Voices Staff \nVital Voices Global Partnership\nMs. Marina Pisklakova-Parker\nmarinap@vitalvoices.org \nWomen Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management (WOCAN)\nMs. Jeannette Denholm\njeannettegurung@wocan.org

SUMMARY:Making Social Impact Count: A Dialogue on Trade offs\, Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Across global carbon markets\, a significant gap persists between stated commitments to social impact and how procurement decisions are actually made. As scrutiny on corporate climate claims intensifies\, buyers are being asked to demonstrate measurable value for communities\, for workers\, for women\, not only tonnes. Yet procurement strategies rarely reflect this\, and the market infrastructure to support it is still being built. \nJeannette Gurung and Sandeep Roy Choudhury (Co-founder & Director\, VNV) will facilitate the closed door buyer-led dialogue\, during the London Climate Action Week. They will explore how social impact\, livelihoods\, and gender inclusion can become real drivers\, not afterthoughts\, in carbon credit procurement.
