AIC's Climate Change Task Team (ACT2)
In response to ever-increasing scientific predictions that half of the world's population could face climate-induced food shortages of vast proportions and within AIC's mission of broadening society's knowledge and use of science and agriculture, AIC convened a Climate Change Task Team in 2010 within its International Twinning Partnership Program.
The membership of the ACT2 includes 3 women (23%) and 10 men. Seven of the members are based in Canada, two in Sri Lanka, one in Ethiopia, one in Vietnam, one in Nepal, and one in Ghana.
At a workshop for Canadian ACT2 members held in October 2010, members participated in an examination of climate change from a gender perspective at one of the sessions. A PowerPoint presentation is available on request.
