BACKGROUND
The interlinkages between SRHR, population dynamics, nature and climate are
What are the links between
sexual and reproductive health
and rights (SRHR), population
dynamics, nature and climate
change
– and how can SRHR programmes and nature
protection programmes be mutually reinforcing?
an area of interest to several Danish stakeholders across thematic sectors and
stakeholder groups. However, the conversations often suffer from a lack of
understanding of the interlinkages, of myths and misconceptions and of biases
between stakeholders, who understand the interlinkages differently.
This seminar takes place in a time of multiple and diverse trends. Population
growth is yet again gaining traction as an alleged driver of climate change and
pressure on nature and the environment. At the same time, evidence from the
ground adds nuances to the understanding of interlinkages, and new actors
have entered the field.
PURPOSE
Are condoms the
solution to the
climate crisis?
At this seminar, experts from across different sectors and groups of
stakeholders will present participants to:
• The latest knowledge on the interlinkages between SRHR, population
dynamics, nature and climate change;
• Explanations to why these interlinkages is not only a complex but also a
difficult conversation; and
• Ways in which to engage in this space programmatically and/or politically.
We aim to give you new knowledge and perspective and hope that this seminar
will spark further reflections on organizational positions, values and potential
future roles in this complex space.
Is population growth a valid
concern for environmental
sustainability?
