DESCRIPTION:Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges o
 f our time\, with significant impacts on health\, inequality\, and poverty
 . As the world grapples with these issues\, it is crucial to understand th
 e multifaceted nature of climate-related inequalities in order to design s
 trategies that effectively address them. This event aims to stimulate a di
 scussion around the conceptualisation but also practical cases of the impa
 ct of pollution on health\, inequality. Join us at Seminar Room 1 at ODID 
 for a fascinating discussion with our special guests Sandra Aguilar\, Sabi
 na Alkire\, Laura Rival\, and Raffaele Ippolito.\n\nAbout the Speakers: \n
 Sandra Aguilar is Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Unive
 rsidad de los Andes in Bogotá\, Colombia\, and a Visiting Scholar at the 
 Center for Global Transformation at UC San Diego. Her work mainly focuses 
 on environmental\, gender\, health and development economics\, often explo
 ring the intersections between these fields\, while her research seeks to 
 understand the consequences of environmental degradation and the challenge
 s governments face in implementing policies in contexts with underlying st
 ructural inequalities or weak institutions. The geographic scope of Profes
 sor Aguilar’s work spans several regions including Mexico\, Colombia\, t
 he United States\, Cambodia\, and Tanzania. She holds a PhD in Sustainable
  Development from Columbia University. \n\nSabina Alkire directs the Oxfor
 d Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at ODID. Her research in
 terests include multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis\, welfar
 e economics\, the capability approach\, the measurement of freedoms and hu
 man development. Together with Professor James Foster\, she developed the 
 Alkire-Foster (AF) method for measuring multidimensional poverty\, a flexi
 ble technique that can incorporate different dimensions\, or aspects of po
 verty\, to create measures tailored to each context. With colleagues at OP
 HI this has been applied and implemented empirically to produce a Multidim
 ensional Poverty Index (MPI). The MPI offers a tool to identify who is poo
 r by considering the range of deprivations they suffer. It is used to repo
 rt a headline figure of poverty (the MPI)\, which can be unpacked to provi
 de a detailed information platform for policy design showing how people ar
 e poor nationally\, and how they are poor by areas\, groups\, and by each 
 indicator. She holds a DPhil in Economics\, an Msc in Economics for Develo
 pment and an MPhil in Christian Political Ethics from the University of Ox
 ford.\n\nLaura Rival is Professor of Anthropology of Development at ODID. 
 Her empirically grounded\, theoretically oriented and policy-relevant rese
 arch aims to renew our thinking about the relationship between environment
  and society. Empirically\, her work is grounded in ethnographic research 
 with the Huaorani (Ecuadorian Amazon)\, inter-disciplinary research with t
 he Makushi (central Guyana)\, and policy-oriented research with a number o
 f Latin American indigenous and peasant communities\, both in Central and 
 South America. Theoretically\, she has engaged critically with a range of 
 deterministic assumptions associated with modernist ideologies \, as well 
 as with various theories that reify the nature/ culture divide\, or perpet
 uate dubious interpretations of indigenous and peasant livelihoods and the
 ir historical dynamics. She has also contributed to political economic ana
 lyses of development policies\, as well as to discussions surrounding poli
 cy instruments aimed at reconciling human development and the conservation
  of biological and cultural diversity. Her current research builds on this
  expertise to address burning issues of development in the face of severe 
 environmental degradation and accelerating climate change.\n\nRaffaele Ipp
 olito is a doctoral researcher studying the everyday experiences of indust
 rial pollution and illness in fence-line communities. Funded by a Wellcome
  Trust Doctoral Studentship\, his research is situated at the intersection
  of citizen science\, political ecology and environmental justice. Raffael
 e holds a BA in Social Anthropology and Development Studies from SOAS\, Un
 iversity of London and an MSc in Global Health from Taipei Medical Univers
 ity. Prior to joining Oxford\, he carried out research on gender equality 
 in health at the United Nations University - International Institute for G
 lobal Health and on Chinese migrants in the UK at Regent's University Lond
 on.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Sabina Alikre (Director of the Oxford Poverty an
