Earlier this year WIMN hosted the virtual webinar, Migration, Displacement & Human Rights in West Asia and Asia Pacific regions: the Climate Crisis and its Impact on Women’s Livelihoods.
The webinar complemented a similar WIMN event held last year during the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66). This webinar focused on the West Asia and Asia Pacific regions. Because of time zone issues, these regions, highly impacted by climate change, had not been able to fully participate in the 2022 event.
Women leaders from the regions shared many rich insights and reflections, describing how climate change is affecting basic resources, especially food and fresh water, and triggering population displacement. And they spoke to how women are taking the lead in activities to protect the environment and hence, their lives.
The webinar included emerging policy considerations as WIMN, our members and allies, step up to the challenges in addressing the intersection of climate change, migration, and gender.
