Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

IFPRI Policy Seminar The Unjust Climate: Measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women, and youth Co-organized by IFPRI, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and Gender, Climate Change and Nutrition Integration Initiative (GCAN) June 18, 2024 9:30 – 11:00 am (America/New York) 3:30 – 5:00 pm (Europe/Amsterdam) 7:00 – 8:30 pm (Asia/Kolkata) More intense and frequent climate events are increasingly disrupting agriculture-based livelihoods, with disproportionate effects on marginalized groups, including women farmers. Yet there is a lack of empirical research on the adverse effects of these extreme weather events, making it even more challenging to build smallholders’ resilience and address rising gender inequalities. In a recent report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations quantified the negative impacts of certain extreme climate events on poor rural households. The report, which included contributions from the International Food Policy Research Institute’s Gender, Climate Change and Nutrition Integration Initiative (https://www.ifpri.org/project/g-can-gender-responsive-and-climate-resilient-agriculturefor-nutrition), found that both floods and heat stress have already widened the income gap between poor and non-poor households by US$20 billion a year. Among other findings, it also showed that each day with extremely high temperatures reduces the total value of crops produced by women farmers by 3 percent relative to men. Please join us to discuss key results from the report and hear from policymakers, practitioners, and partners on how they are working to generate relevant evidence and make a difference on the ground. Opening Remarks Maximo Torero, Chief Economist, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Key Findings from the Report Nicholas Sitko, Senior Economist, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Resilience to Climate Change and Gender Claudia Ringler, Director, Natural Resources and Resilience (NRR), IFPRI Importance of Data Carlo Azzarri, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Priorities for Inclusive Climate Action in Asia Mansi Shah, Program Manager for the Future of Work Activities, Self-Employed Women’s Association of India (SEWA) Priorities for Inclusive Climate Action in Africa Faith Gikunda, Communications Director, Inclusive Climate Change Adaptation for a Sustainable Africa (ICCASA) Donor Perspectives on Addressing Social and Economic Inequalities Through Climate Action Aslihan Kes, Senior Gender Advisor, Resilience and Food Security, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Closing Remarks Aditi Mukherji, Director, Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Impact Action Platform of the CGIAR Moderator Elizabeth Bryan, Senior Scientist, IFPRI Links: The Unjust Climate: http://the%20unjust%20climate/ More about this Event: https://www.ifpri.org/event/unjust-climate-measuring-impacts-climate-change-rural-poor-women-and-youth/ Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription
