Gender-Responsive Climate Innovation: Voices, Lived Realities, and Solutions
Gender-Responsive Climate Innovation: Voices, Lived Realities, and Solutions
Climate innovation is not only about technology or policy, it is also about people, power, and lived realities.
This session invites participants to explore how gender-responsive and inclusive approaches can strengthen climate action by centering lived experiences, community knowledge, and underrepresented voices. Through storytelling and dialogue, the event highlights how women, youth, and marginalized genders are shaping innovative responses to climate challenges, often outside formal decision-making spaces.
The event will begin with a keynote address, followed by a facilitated storytelling circle where participants are invited to share short narratives from their work, communities, or personal experiences. These stories may reflect climate vulnerability, resilience, leadership, innovation, or the systemic barriers faced in climate action spaces. Together, the group will reflect on emerging themes and insights that can inform more equitable and effective climate solutions.
This is an interactive and reflective space designed for learning, connection, and collective insight,bringing diverse perspectives into conversation to reimagine what climate innovation can look like when grounded in justice and inclusion.
Who should attend: Gender and social justice practitioners, students and researchers, climate advocates, innovators, policymakers, and civil society actors.
Join us to listen, share, and co-create pathways toward more equitable, resilient, and people-centered climate innovation.
