In March, Young Lives Senior Policy Advisor, Kath Ford, was invited to present at a high-level international policy event on “Building Women’s Economic Empowerment into Climate Transitions” at Wilton Park, in support of the UK’s new Global Campaign for Women's Economic Empowerment.
This 3-day event brought together governments, the private sector, academic, civil society, and multilateral institutions from around the world. The purpose was to explore the key challenges to building women’s economic empowerment into the green growth agenda and how to overcome them.
Kath shared Young Lives’ evidence on the impact of climate shocks on skills development, and the broader challenges faced by girls and women to access decent jobs in the face of persistent gender discrimination.
We also used this opportunity to display our new Young Lives Photo Exhibition helping to bring to life some of the individual stories behind these huge global challenges, where Kath spoke with Rt Hon Justine Greening, former Secretary of State for International Development (pictured below), and introduced her to the work of Young Lives.
