WEBINARS

SHE Foundation co-organized a series of webinars on “Climate-Resilient Development and Transformative Food Systems in the Covid19 era” with several UNFCCC observers, including Tzu-chi Foundation USA, ProVeg International, UNEP and the UNFCCC Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN).  The webinars provided a ‘solutions space’ to share resilience lessons learned from the Covid19 crisis, in a world challenged by the impacts of Climate Change, Malnutrition and Inequity, and identify climate-resilient solutions that contribute to Human/Food/Health Systems Resilience and to a healthy recovery.
