Seeking resources in the blog section for our bilateral pairing topic
Hello everyone!
I am filled with joy to see such a positive response to this project and, my goodness, to see the fun activities being posted here in this discussion!! I can't wait to try them myself today.
I am writing this post to tell you I have posted some resources on the blog section under our bilateral pairing, and will be doing so quite often in the future. I really want to help you all find resources that address gender and migration in the context that you want to address it in. I have posted gender and migration in the context of climate change in general currently on the blog, but as you know there are many sectors that are anticipated to be hit hard by climate change, for example agriculture, water, forests, and energy. Gender and migration is a fantastically broad topic in the context of climate change.
I have listed a little activity to get you thinking about gender and migration in the context of climate change. To start, first think about this question:
What physical area or sector (like agriculture, water, energy, drought, etc.) do you think will be most influenced by climate change in your backyard?
Once you have decided the physical area or sector, the challenge is to investigate if any research or action plans have been put into place for the influence of climate change in your sector in the context of gender and migration.
My example:
Sector: Agriculture
Area: Asia
Context: Gender and Migration
I have done a quick investigation to see if this is an issue that has been identified and if any action plans have been put into place. I found a resource:
https://ccafs.cgiar.org/sites/default/files/docs/t...
That tells me this is an issue identified and organizations have began coming up with action plans.
The point of this activity is to really think about what climate change means to you and your area, and to further it by thinking about what climate change means to you and your area in the context of gender and migration.
Hopefully this quick activity gets you thinking about climate change in the context of gender and migration, and will help kick-start this fantastic topic discussion!
