20jan12:0015:30Invitation to a seminar on climate rights and inclusion of vulnerable groups

Detaljer

The network for religion, climate and environment together with Mission East, Disabled People’s
Organisations Denmark and Danish Forum for Microfinance host a seminar that will explore how
vulnerable groups are disproportionately impacted by climate change and how they can be
empowered to respond and adapt better. Climate change exacerbates existing vulnerabilities and
inequalities for vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, religious and ethnic minorities,
HIV/AIDS affected persons, women and children. The seminar will provide a deeper understanding
of the specific climate risks and rights violations that vulnerable groups face in the global south.
Moreover, the seminar will explore how the resilience of vulnerable groups can be enhanced through
strengthened organization in the form of Village Save and Soan Associations and showcase strategies
for financial inclusion of vulnerable groups.

The seminar takes place:
The 20th of January 2025 from 12-15.30 at CKU, Peter Bangs Vej 5B, 4th floor, 2000
