Climate Crossroads – Prioritizing Human Security

South Asia and India have some of the most grave climate hotspots. Storms are escalating into cyclones, droughts are affecting more than half of the country, and floods of unprecedented scales are causing catastrophic damage. There is no denying that the climate is changing – and fast.

Globally, India is affected the most by extreme heat as a result of climate change. A record 619 million people in India experienced extreme heat driven by climate change in June this year, making it the most affected country globally, according to an analysis by Climate Central.

We are excited to announce our 2024 annual event, CLIMATE CROSSROADS: PRIORITIZING HUMAN SECURITY on September 14, 2024, in New Delhi, India

In its third edition, this event will focus on the complex intersection of climate change and its impact on human security; examining global patterns with a spotlight on South Asia, especially India. We aim to explore how climate change affects the movement of people, gender roles, livelihoods, energy transitions, and policies; and how grassroots communities and youth are leading the way for climate action.

Our event will include an inclusive, multi-dimensional approach that includes online and offline formats aimed at maximizing impact. The event will be live-streamed enabling anyone from anywhere in the world to participate.

This year, our event will highlight voices from vulnerable affected communities, policymakers, climate experts, youth activists, corporations, civil society, and other organizations.
