SUMMARY:Canada’s National Conference on The Sustainable Development Goals
DESCRIPTION:Together|Ensemble is Canada’s national conference devoted to tracking progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The conference represents an all-of-society approach to addressing Canada’s toughest sustainable development challenges\, bringing together the private sector\, academia\, government\, and civil society. \nThe SDGs have created an internationally recognized language and measurement framework for sustainable development but have so far failed to galvanize the action needed to eradicate poverty\, protect the planet\, and ensure prosperity for all. Together|Ensemble will advance the SDGs in Canada by showcasing work from across the country\, identifying opportunities for collective impact\, mobilizing good practices and effective research\, and building awareness of the SDGs in Canadian communities. \nProgress requires unprecedented cross-sectoral collaboration and innovation that touches all aspects of Canadian society. By working together\, we can put in place the transformations needed to achieve the ambitious agenda of the SDGs. \nSince 2017\, Together|Ensemble has been hosted three times in a series of symposia and conferences of Canada’s diverse and growing all-of-society community dedicated to achieving the SDGs. Learn more about Together|Ensemble’s history. \nVisit www.togetherensemble.ca for more information. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Engaging Men to End Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting
DESCRIPTION:Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) affects over 200\,000\,000 women and girls globally. The Global Platform for Action to End FGM/C developed a call to action to advocate for greater prioritization\, resourcing\, and action to end female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Recognizing that FGM/C is a social and gendered norm\, upheld through complex systems of patriarchy and tradition\, the call to action includes acknowledging that we cannot bring about its end without engaging everyone\, including boys and men. \nThis webinar will bring together advocates and experts who have experience in building male engagement programs to discuss ways of incorporating men and boys in programming to end FGM/C. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ngGZMHASQzmg5Jd0PdOu-A

SUMMARY:Towards an Intersectional Climate Response: Tackling Environmental Racism
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a social issue\, a health issue\, and one that is deeply intertwined with global patterns of inequity. In communities across the globe\, Black\, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) disproportionately bear the brunt of climate change’s impacts\, in particular through the systems\, policies and practices upheld by environmental racism. For example\, the serious and negative implications of air and water pollution\, soil contamination\, and exposure to hazardous chemicals have proven to unequally affect the health and wellbeing of BIPOC communities.  \nJoin us for a 90 minute solutions-oriented panel where participants will unpack the inherent inequalities and patterns of injustice that almost always fall along the lines of race\, class\, ability and gender and propose a way forward for a more just\, intersectional and inclusive global climate response.  \nREGISTER HERE \nJoin the broadcast: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87306204544 \nPanelists include: \nManvi Bhalla\, Intersectional community organizer\, co-founder of Shake Up The Establishment \nDr. Ingrid Waldron\, Professor and HOPE Chair in Peace and Health in the Global Peace and Social Justice Program in the Department of History\, Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University \nShirley Williams\, Professor Emeritus\, Elder\, Activist\, Nishnaabemowin Language \nDr. Marie-Jo Ouimet\, médecin conseil à l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) \nWith opening and land acknowledgement from Michele Penney and panel moderation by Future Ancestors Services.

SUMMARY:Climate Justice and SRHR: the Criticality of Women’s Leadership
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis directly and disproportionately impacts women and girls’ lives and well-being and deepens gender inequality. This impact can be felt acutely as regards SRHR. Addressing the interconnections between gender equality\, the environment and sustainable development is crucial for SRHR and elevating the voices of women is central. Through a diverse panel of speakers from UN organizations\, civil society and governments\, this convening organized by UNFPA and the SRHR and Climate Justice Coalition will explore the ways in which these linkages bear out and the importance of promoting women’s leadership at the intersection. \nThis event will be held in English with interpretation available in Spanish\, French and International Sign Language. \nCet événement se déroulera en anglais avec interprétation disponible en espagnol\, Français et en langue des signes internationale. \nEste evento se llevará a cabo en inglés con interpretación disponible en español\, francés y lenguaje internacional de señas internacional. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Family Planning in a Climate Crisis: Building Resilience for Women and Girls
DESCRIPTION:As climate-exacerbated natural disasters continue to increase in frequency and intensity around the world\, the effects of climate change are more clear than ever – and women and girls are most susceptible to their impact. This event examines the link between climate change resilience\, family planning and sexual and reproductive health and rights through a panel discussion with experts and a presentation of FP2030’s new emergency preparedness and response strategy. Please join us to hear from policy makers\, women’s rights organizations\, advocates\, and young leaders in the field. \nAs the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be felt around the globe\, political conflict persists in many countries\, and further climate-driven crises occur\, more and more women will be affected by crises. Without immediate action\, we will risk losing decades of progress on sexual and reproductive health including access to family planning services and put at risk the already precarious traction on gender equality\, women and girls empowerment. This session will share expertise from the field\, and chart FP2030’s plan for the future.
