SUMMARY:Why Gender Equality Matters to Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Worldwide\, population pressures contribute to immediate dangers like food insecurity\, natural resource scarcity\, inequality\, and climate-changing emissions. Yet\, the relationship between population and climate change is complex. Although the carbon footprints of most of the world’s population are negligible relative to that of the average American or European\, low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately vulnerable to climate impacts like rising sea-levels and extreme weather events. Additionally\, the close relationship between high fertility and poverty throughout the world worsens climate vulnerability and puts more people at risk. This presentation uses a climate justice framework to explore the ways in which demographic trends impact and are impacted by climate change and argues that gender equality must be better integrated into global climate solutions. The talk will conclude with a discussion on the ways in which expanding access to health care and education—especially for women\, girls\, and reproductively capable people—act as necessary building blocks for climate adaptation and resilience across the globe. Our guest speaker\, Hannah Evans\, Senior Analyst\, Population Connection\, will help us understand how these factors interplay.\n\nHannah works as a Senior Analyst at Population Connection\, where she focuses on public speaking and the development of open-source\, academic-style resources. She also cultivates partnerships between Population Connection and international NGOs. Before joining Population Connection’s staff\, Hannah worked as an adjunct professor of Women’s Studies and taught classes on gender\, science\, and feminist theory. She has non-profit experience working as a program developer for sustainable agriculture and public health programs in Honduras and Panama and has worked as a researcher studying food security issues throughout Southern California. Hannah holds a BA in Environmental Policy and Natural Resource Conservation and Political Science and a Master’s in Political Ecology from San Diego State University\, where her research focused on sustainability labeling and ethical consumption between the United States and Nicaragua.\n\nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please use our contact us form to make your request.
