TIME: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. EST

The climate crisis has tremendous impacts on the poorest and most marginalized people in developing countries, especially women and girls. It increases the demand to address the injustice of poverty and gender inequalities in communities and the demand to respond to urgent humanitarian needs. Climate change also has profound impacts on human health, exacerbates existing health disparities, undermines healthcare systems and challenges efforts to achieve global health goals. Following the climate-gender nexus, women are more vulnerable to the health-related consequences of climate change. Join the CARE Climate and Resilience Academy for a half-day online training on community-based resilience and adaptation, focusing on climate change impacts on health from a gender-transformative perspective.

This training will help you:

• Refresh or increase your understanding of key climate concepts and the link between climate change and health.
• Learn to use CARE's Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) tool, integrating gender and identifying health-related vulnerabilities.
• Understand how to integrate health and gender in a community-based adaptation project.

Meet the speaker for this session:

• Thuy-Binh (Binh) Nguyen: Quality Program Lead – CARE Climate Justice Center
• Farida Farah: Climate Adaptation Specialist – CARE Climate Justice Center
• Allison Prather: Senior Technical Advisor, Health, Equity & Rights - CARE USA
• Moushumi Chaudhury: Senior Technical Advisor, Climate Justice – CARE USA

Prior to the training, and to ensure that you can benefit most from this interactive training, we recommend you enroll in a set of short, self-paced courses on Climate Justice and Gender Justice​ and CARE's Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis: CVCA 1​ and CVCA 2​,. You will be asked to create an account on the e-learning platform of the CARE Climate & Resilience Academy which will provide you free access to these courses.

Please note that space is limited to 50 participants. We appreciate all interested in attending and request that up to two individuals per organization register at this time.

*Please note that this training will be held in English only.
