The global care crisis is being exacerbated by the global climate emergency, with interlocking impacts that threaten lives and livelihoods in all parts of the world. These impacts are particularly severe in resource-based economies and make everyday life difficult for people living with scarce resources and low incomes in rural areas of the global South. 

Drawing on a new report co-written with colleagues for Oxfam, Seema Arora-Jonsson will talk about the intersections of climate change and care work, and how they have been largely overlooked in policy and the literature on climate change.

Seema Arora-Jonsson is a Professor at the Department of Urban and Rural Development, Division of Rural Development. 

The lecture is held in English.
