Climate and care at COP31
Within the framework of the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), from November 13 to 15, Antalya (Turkey) hosts the Care Pavilion , an open space for dialogue, collaboration and collective action with the aim of placing care at the center of public agendas.
This initiative of the Global Care Alliance will bring together organizations, policymakers, researchers, care workers and communities to share data, experiences and knowledge, with the participation of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences.
This edition focuses on the connection between care and climate resilience: how strong care systems and policies help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from climate impacts, and why more integrated and cross-sectoral policies are urgently needed.
The program combines policy dialogues, workshops, artistic and cultural expressions, and spaces for collective reflection, based on transformative and feminist approaches to care.
Because care makes it possible to live with dignity, autonomy and well-being, and without fair care systems there is no equality or collective well-being.
