Why gender equality LIVE
Join TEDxLondon’s live recording of its chart-topping podcast, Climate Curious, where we discuss the link between environmental crises and gender equality, and what we can do about it, with special guest speakers Dr Faith Mwangi-Powell and Dr Amiera Sawas.
17 October 2022 / 6.30 for 7pm start, til 9pm
The Conduit, Covent Garden
Be a part of the special behind-the-scenes Climate Curious podcast experience as one of our limited in-studio audience. Bloopers, retakes, selfies… you’ll see it all with co-host Ben Hurst and special guest co-host, Daze Aghaji.
Leave your climate guilt, shame and rage at the door – this is a relaxed evening for people who may not have found their place in the climate conversation, but do actually really care about the world.
Less paper straws, more systemic change – we’re all about having your burger and eating it too, whilst getting a clear briefing on key climate topics – in a fun, down-to-earth and non-judgemental way!
WHAT WE’LL COVER:
- Why is climate change code red for girls?
- How does climate change exacerbates gender disparities?
- Why are climate solutions and gender equality linked?
- Why is girls education is a powerful solution to addressing the climate crisis, child marriage and breaking the cycle of poverty, all at once?
