SDG, Alm.del - 2020-21 - Bilag 2: Invitation fra udviklingsministeren vedrørende virtuelt seminar om seksuel og reproduktiv sundhed og rettigheder, befolkningsdynamikker samt natur og klimaforandringer, fredag den 13. november kl. 12.00-14.00

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?
