Marking 25 years of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, in collaboration with UN Women, this episode explores how gender-responsive climate action can pave the way to sustainable peace. We are joined by Norul Rashid and Japhet William Graham Eichel from UN Women’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, who share insights from across the region and beyond. Together, they examine how climate impacts intersect with gender norms and security challenges, and why women’s leadership is vital in building resilience. The discussion highlights grassroots initiatives, such as youth-led climate action in Pakistan and women’s mediation efforts in the Pacific and Afghanistan, exploring both the barriers and transformative potential of women’s participation. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how the four pillars of the WPS agenda—participation, protection, prevention, and relief and recovery—can address the inseparable challenges of peace and climate resilience.Further reading: Weathering Two Storms: Gender and Climate in Peace and SecurityGender Responsive Climate Security Assessment for Sri Lanka Disasters, crises and violence against women: Evidence from big data analysis© adelphi global, all rights reservedadelphi global (https://adelphi-global.de/en) is an economically and politically independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting sustainability, enhancing environmental protection, improving education, expanding development cooperation, and strengthening international collaborations.
