SUMMARY:Living the Climate Crisis: Overlooked Perspectives of Informal Workers in a Changing Urban India
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Series | Working through Climate: Informal Workers in Changing Urban India\nBackground: Our cities are experiencing an unprecedented rate of climate variations and their growing impacts. These include more frequent and intense heatwaves, storms, and urban flooding. Among the most affected are the urban poor and informal workers, who form over 90 per cent of India’s workforce and are predominantly employed under informal arrangements, PLFS 2023. Engaged in informal occupations, they face a disproportionate share of these climate risks. While cities function as economic engines, informal workers remain an inseparable backbone of these local economies. Due to climate impacts, the informal workers due to their insecure works, face unprecedented work loss, wage loss, face health challenges and have poor residential security and quality of life in urban. All compounding their livelihoods vulnerability.\nIn this context, the Urban Management Centre (UMC), as part of ongoing technical support to the New Mission on Urban Poverty Alleviation (earlier known as National Urban Livelihoods Mission) is aiming to strengthen this dialogue and integrate them under the policy and advocacy support to the Mission. UMC with INHAF is convening a series of webinars and panel discussions to unpack emerging priorities, institutional reform needs, and ground-level challenges faced by informal workers.\nWebinar 1: Living the Climate Crisis: Overlooked Perspectives of Informal Workers in a Changing Urban India\nThis webinar aims to explore the multifaceted nature of climate vulnerability as experienced by urban informal workers, with a focus on occupational, health, and residential dimensions. It will critically examine how urban reforms and policies can address the intersections of caste, gender, and occupation through the lens of livelihood missions. The session will also reflect on how urban planning and climate response frameworks can be made more inclusive. Through the panel discussion, we aim to identify scalable, evidence-based solutions that can inform the design and implementation of national missions and strategy.\n
