This episode was recorded as a live taping of the podcast, produced in partnership with CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food-secure future dedicated to transforming food, land, and water systems in a climate crisis.
Global Dispatches and CGIAR are partnering on a series of episodes about the nexus between climate and security. In this episode, we host a panel discussion with four experts who discuss the interplay between climate adaptation on the one hand, and poverty reduction and gender equality on the other. They offer expert insights on how climate adaptation can enhance social protection – and vise versa, how social protection measures can support climate adaptation.
The episode kicks off with some opening remarks from Shalini Roy, a Senior Research Fellow in the Poverty, Gender, and Inclusion Unit at the International Food Policy Research Initiative, IFPRI. It is followed by a moderated discussion featuring:
Dan Gilligan Director of the Poverty, Gender and Inclusion Unit at IFPRI and Co-Lead of the CGIAR Gender Equality Initiative
Ana Solórzano , Social Protection Advisor for Climate and Resilience at the World Food Program
Zahrah Nesbitt-Ahmed, Research Lead at the Centre for Disaster Protection
Raashee Abhilashi, Regional Project Coordinator and Consultant, Climate Change Group, at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)
