In this three-part podcast special, you will hear leading researchers explore the important intersection of gender, climate, and knowledge. Recorded at the Gender and Development Conference at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in June 2025, in Norwich, UK, these conversations bring together insights from across the world.
Women’s everyday knowledge – from farming and water management to food preservation – offers powerful insights for climate adaptation. In our second episode, Dr Reetika Subramanian talks with researchers and practitioners about why these often-overlooked strategies are crucial for effective climate action.
We explore tools such as photo voice, where women document their own experiences and influence policy. By bridging lived, local knowledge with scientific research, this episode shows how empowering women is central to building resilient communities.
Guests include Professor Nitya Rao and HCEH researcher Samiksha Rai.
With thanks to CLARE, a UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience, for facilitating participation in the conference.
