As the world moves closer to COP30 in 2025, climate challenges continue to intensify,from rising temperatures and erratic weather patterns to increasing loss and damage that threaten development gains and human security. Building resilience today is no longer a choice, but a shared global responsibility.

In this context, and in alignment with India’s commitment to advancing just, equitable, and sustainable transitions, Sphere India Academy, in collaboration with ICARS GNEC IIT Roorkee, is organizing a Multi-Stakeholder Consultation on
🌏“India’s Pathways to COP30: Advancing Climate Resilience, Equity, and Sustainable Development.”

The consultation will bring together policymakers, climate experts, researchers, humanitarian organisations, and civil society leaders to discuss India’s strategic pathways toward COP30 : exploring opportunities for climate resilience, equity, financing, and community-led action. Discussions will highlight actionable recommendations on aligning national priorities with global climate goals and amplifying locally-driven, nature-based, and inclusive solutions.

India’s 7,500 km coastline is highly vulnerable to cyclones, often resulting in displacement, loss of livelihoods, and humanitarian crises. Amidst these challenges, women-led shelter management practices have emerged as a powerful model of resilience and inclusivity, ensuring safety, dignity, and community trust during emergencies.

Building on these experiences, Sphere India Academy invites you to an important webinar where experts and practitioners will share ground realities, best practices, and key recommendations on strengthening women-led cyclone shelter management.
