Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,
Greetings!
We hope you are safe and well.
Team IMPRI sends out its wishes on the occasion of International Women's Day 2022 (March 8)! We hope that we all collectively continue to work to #BreakTheBias, and move towards a truly equal and empowering society, away from discrimination and exclusion on varied levels.
This week, we invite you to join us for discussions on global unemployment and inequality, and the implications for urbanisation amid the release of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report Working Group II contribution. These will be followed by a deliberation on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its impacts, and the road ahead.
The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of these upcoming #WebPolicyTalks, IMPRI's recent publications, and videos of events in case you missed them.
We hope to see you soon at one of our #WebPolicyTalks!
Wishing you the best for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
