In the first episode of “The Arc,” ECSP’s Claire Doyle and Angus Soderberg interview Dr. Maureen Miruka, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Research at CARE USA. Dr. Miruka unpacks the complex relationship between gender, climate, and agriculture, emphasizing the disproportionate impact of climate stressors on women and vulnerable populations through the lens of food systems. Dr. Miruka also underscores the pivotal role women play as change agents in global climate mitigation and adaptation, and makes a call to broaden the scope of research in this space to include other gender minorities.
