Sustain267 Podcast#GSWF2021 The Rise of Disaster Capitalism: Climate change, COVID-19 and the Green New DealThis episode unpacks “The Rise of Disaster Capitalism: Climate change, COVID-19 and the Green New Deal”. The current gap in discourse between affected communities on the ground, governments, and multilateral organisations on the impacts of extreme weather events requires that national communities are visible in regional and international political and climate spaces and that their narratives are shared and voices are heard. Marginalised communities are systematically excluded from these spaces, so it is vital to promote their participation in creating, developing, implementing, and monitoring policy responses to and plans on climate change and disaster relief that support their needs.

Sustain267 Podcast#GSFW2021 Strengthening social inclusion in policy and financing processes to secure feminist and just climate transitionIn this episode, the panel explores methods of “Strengthening social inclusion in policy and financing processes to secure feminist and just climate transition”. The climate crisis severely threatens vulnerable communities’ livelihoods, access to food, water, and shelter. It exacerbates existing inequalities caused by differences in gender, socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity and age, and undermines development. Despite this, these communities, which also have the fewest resources to adapt or mitigate its effects, have drawn from their lived experiences to take countless inventive steps to slow it and address its impacts. Yet, they are often not involved in policy and decision-making. The gl...2021-12-091h 12

Likewise, the human-made consequences of climate change exacerbate economic inequalities, destroy livelihoods, infrastructure, and social safety nets, and impact the resources and strategies available for governments and the global community to provide for each other and prioritise care and well-being of people and planet as the main objective...2021-12-081h 02
