Sweden-led dialogue on climate action,gender equality and SRHR set for UKZN

ALL roads lead to the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Westville Campus, South Africa,  on Wednesday, where the Embassy of Sweden will convene a high-level, youth-centred dialogue on the intersection of climate change, gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

The half-day event, titled “Sweden on the Road: Gender-responsive Climate Action Edition,” will bring together parliamentary leaders, diplomats, academics, researchers, students and development practitioners in the Senate chamber from 08:30am to 13:30 noon.

The initiative seeks to elevate the voices of young people while generating practical recommendations for climate-resilient health systems and South Africa’s engagement in the COP31 negotiations.
