The intensifying impact of climate change and extreme weather events is exposing the fragility of our vital infrastructure. The devastating impact of every cyclone, flood or drought makes it that much harder to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.

What can be done to address this crisis? What frameworks would bring climate change adaptation and resilience into the development/infrastructure planning processes?

Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, women have made important gains in representation, especially in senior leadership. Women have been at the forefront of solutions for managing societal crisis.

The question we aim to address in this episode is- how we can rethink of women leadership in ways to craft a just, more prosperous and fairer society.
 
Women are making a sufficient percentage in parliaments around the world. “Women need space, women can no more be viewed by the type of husbands they have,” says Kwati Candith Mashego-Dlamini
 
Most peace processes are premised on the assumption that the actors who pursued war, primarily men, will also act as the main agents for peace. Can women’s participation in conflict prevention and resolution, improve outcomes before, during, and after conflict?

We explore the question of what are the various issues that women need to manage and deal with, that are different from what men need to go through? Should women be further empowered and their potential unlocked to accelerate development? 

How can female leadership be enhanced across the political sphere, boardrooms, and financial systems? What can be done to make technology more inclusive for women and to aid them in crisis response and recovery? How can education be made more accessible, not just for women as students, but for women as educators?
