In sourcing the #CriticalMinerals that will power the global energy transition, how can we avoid the injustices and risks often linked to resource extraction? How can we maximize opportunities for the communities and countries providing green minerals?

'The immediate impact on Europe caused by natural gas and then oil supply disruptions was exacerbated by severe shortages of inert gases, critical minerals, and grain.'

.Population Institute President and CEO, Kathleen Mogelgaard, makes clear that strengthening climate resilience must involve continuing to build momentum around conversations like today's.

It's time to shift from an over-simplified narrative of population alarmism to one based in hope.

JOIN NOW for the Q&A portion of today's conversation!

Our speakers:
🔵Marco Vinicio Cerezo Blandón, General Manager of FUNDAECO
🔵Charles Kabiswa, Executive Director, Regenerate Africa
🔵Heather Randell, PhD, Assistant Professor of Rural Sociology & Demography, Penn State

It begins with amplifying the local and regional work individuals and organizations are undertaking in order to build climate resilience through strategies around family planning, education, maternal and newborn health outcomes, public health, migration, and more.

So, how can we better integrate conversations on population dynamics and climate change into the global agenda at COP27?

Population factors such as health, family planning, migration, and more can be strategies to build resilience to climate change and environmental impacts.

Climate resilience is about more than just environmental solutions.

Today's speakers note how policymakers and leaders must begin thinking of population as a resilience strategy. wilsoncenter.org/event/climate-…

'In many parts of the world, people are very reliant on agriculture and particularly on rain fed agriculture,' says Heather Randell, PhD. 'So if climatic conditions are bad, that threatens household income, food security, and the nutrition of kids.'

'There has never been a better time than now to heavily invest in access to health care, rights based voluntary family planning, and promoting equality. All of these have to be integrated into climate interventions.' – Charles Kabiswa, Executive Director, Regenerate Africa

Protecting children's access to education and households from food insecurity in the face of climate change helps buffer the negative impacts and strengthen resilience.

More from Heather Randell, PhD:

'If we want to increase resiliency, if we want to reduce the impact of climate change on food security and on the long term livelihoods of these rural communities...we have to empower [rural women and girls].' – Marco Vinicio Cerezo Blandón of FUNDAECO
