The intensity and frequency of climate change-induced disasters are on the rise worldwide. The Canadian prairie region is highly vulnerable to climate-induced hazards and has seen increased drought, wildfire, and flood-related disasters. Intersecting social identity factors like gender, class, race, culture, and location—amongst others—combine to create highly differentiated disaster experiences. Hence, our response must go beyond dominant perspectives, technological solutions, and even geopolitical borders. This event will be an interactive multistakeholder panel discussing best practices beyond the usual technocratic approaches. It will also explore how international collaborations can complement efforts to improve knowledge mobilization and create equitable solutions globally.
