WiAD - Climate change in the aid, development and humanitarian context - Online Event - July 2022

Climate change is the biggest challenge facing current and future generations. The world’s poorest people and communities will feel its impacts the hardest, as they have lower capacity to deal with damage from more volatile weather, rising sea levels, more frequent natural disasters, food insecurity and habitat loss.

International development specialists, environmental scientists, engineers, natural resource economists and others bring knowledge and skills to work alongside communities and help them prepare for extreme weather events, protect homes, and land, and mitigate the effect of climate change on infrastructure, the environment and livelihoods.

Climate change will impact every role in the sector so come along to hear from speakers who support communities with sustainable climate change adaptation and mitigation projects that build community resilience and reduce the impact of natural disasters. Our speakers will also share how their experiences have shaped their career in the aid and development sector.
