Inequality in the face of COVID-19: how grassroots communities are taking action

This online event will bring speakers from social movements and networks working with indigenous people, people living in informal settlements and women working in the informal economy, to reflect on the response of their communities to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The event will examine inequalities in impacts and coping strategies and discuss mechanisms to address inequality and manage future risks and shocks.

How do we make room for innovation, how do we become more accepting of risk and increased experimentation? And what we can learn that will help us tackle the climate crisis?

Time: 11am-12pm (GMT +1)

This is the second online event in a series hosted by IIED and the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) on the climate crisis and COVID-19 - working together for the change we need which will be hosted between June and October 2020. This event is also hosted working in partnership with ICCCAD and Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) and is also a part of the London Climate Action Week series of online events.
