Session title: Loss and Damage in FCAS: the impact of the climate-conflict nexus on women and girls
Organizer(s): ActionAid
8 May 24 14:00-15:30   (Salle Lausanne)
 
SessionAbstract

The session will involve a panel discussion around new innovative research from ActionAid on the disproportionate losses and damages experienced by women and girls in DRC, Nigeria, and Somaliland and how these impacts are exacerbated by conflict and instability in those countries. The intertwining relationship between climate change and conflict is examined, showing how one influences the other, and how the double burden puts women's resilience to climate change in peril. The panel will be composed of research leads from DRC, Nigeria and Somaliland to present the preliminary results of the research conducted in their respective countries, where women and girls are experiencing this double burden in comparable but diverging ways. The panel will discuss how the impacts of this nexus should be addressed, providing recommendations to policymakers, donors and for programming. The panel will be chaired by the ActionAid UK research lead.
