    Dear colleagues,

    Project Drawdown has an upcoming webinar that might be of interest. More info and registration at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5e_FsBL4TpeuH119UAA7lA

    Description

    This two-part webinar series focuses on a new landmark report, Climate–Poverty Connections: Opportunities for synergistic solutions at the intersection of planetary and human well-being. Published by Project Drawdown, the report provides decision-makers with concrete evidence of how climate solutions can also contribute to meeting human well-being needs and alleviating poverty in rural communities in Africa and South Asia. Each webinar will last for 1 hour.

    In Part One of the webinar series, global experts in international development, environmental health, clean energy, and natural resource management will discuss how climate solutions focused on improving agriculture and agroforestry, providing clean electricity, and adopting clean cooking can contribute to improving human well-being and alleviating poverty and yield substantial socioeconomic, health, equity, and environmental gains.

    In Part Two of the webinar series, which will take place Wednesday June 1 (8:00am New York City/3:00pm Nairobi/5:30pm New Delhi), global experts in cross-sectoral conservation and health initiatives, climate adaptation, girls’ education, and environmental conservation will focus on how climate solutions that protect and restore ecosystems and foster equality can contribute to socioeconomic, health, equity, and environmental gains.
