This year’s Symposium will discuss “Global Challenges and Local Solutions: The Intersection of Climate Change and Gender Inequality” and will be held on the morning of Thursday, March 2, 2023. The Symposium will highlight the noted impact that climate change has had on gender inequality, including discussions of migration, gender-based violence, economic factors, and public health concerns. It will also discuss the current responses from the international community, and suggest future policy solutions.
Panel Topics

• Climate Change Now: The Gendered Impact
• This panel will serve as an introduction to the topic by discussing the human impacts of climate change that are already being seen across the globe, and how various legal institutions and organizations are addressing the social issues caused by these calamities. It will explore how issues like poverty, migration, resource scarcity, and mass psychological strain have historically impacted women due to traditional gender roles, and how climate change has amplified and accelerated these burdens.
• Current Responses and Future Solutions
• This panel will explore how the international community has begun to recognize and respond to the particular effects of climate change on women, and will consider the impact of these responses. It will also consider how nations that aren’t already experiencing these impacts can prepare to respond to them.
