CanWaCH is excited to share the release of our 2021 Global Health Impact Report! The report features emerging data from humanitarian initiatives, key findings from the first cohort of the Canadian Collaborative for Global Health, and identifies priorities for capacity strengthening and knowledge sharing within the sector.
During International Development Week (IDW), international cooperation advocates and organizations called on the government to invest $1.5 billion to end the pandemic, take faster action on the fight against climate change, and help build peace around the world.
Over the course of the week, 125 sector representatives participated in 60 meetings with Members of Parliament, Senators, and offices of the Prime Minister, Minister for International Development, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, and Minister of Finance.
Read the joint press release from CanWaCH, Cooperation Canada, and Bigger Than Our Borders calling for increased efforts to end the pandemic everywhere here.
Through the Equal Futures Network, in collaboration with Le Réseau des femmes en environnement, CanWaCH will be hosting a virtual side event during the sixty-sixth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66).
Starting at 4 p.m. EDT on March 15, our 90 minute solutions-oriented panel will unpack the inherent inequalities and patterns of injustice that underpin climate change and its impacts, and propose a way forward for a more just, intersectional and inclusive global climate response.
