"Targeting women and empowering women are not the same thing." - Shri T.K. Anil Kumar, AS (RL), MoRD
DAY-NRLM & J-PAL South Asia hosted a webinar on strengthening Graduation Approaches through climate-resilient and gender-responsive programme design, drawing on evidence and insights from J-PAL affiliated researchers across Graduation programmes globally.
Key insights:
✔Assets alone don't ensure women's decision-making power
✔Savings strengthen resilience to climate shocks
✔Climate impacts women and men differently
✔ Programme design matters for lasting empowerment
States also shared innovations from Maharashtra's climate-resilient livelihood planning and West Bengal's work with Lodha Sabar women under Samaveshi Aajeevika Yojana (SAY).

A week of conversations on climate, evidence, and what it takes to make solutions work in practice.
At #LCAW2026, J-PAL’s Air and Water Labs across @jpal_africa, @jpal_mena, and @JPAL_SA with support from @CommunityJameel convened a panel on the role of evidence and innovation labs within governments.
Across perspectives from Cape Town, Cairo, and South Asia, one idea came through clearly. Many climate solutions exist, but translating them into action at scale remains the challenge.
Through J-PAL’s Air and Water Labs, governments are working to bring evidence, data, and technical expertise closer to real decisions. Not as one-off projects, but as part of how institutions operate.
Here are a few glimpses from the week:

Last week at #LCAW2026: @JPAL_SA, @JPAL_Africa & @JPAL_MENA joined @CommunityJameel to discuss climate resilience through government partnerships: bit.ly/3SmID01
@JPAL & @EPIC_India's emissions market initiative helped #Gujarat become an @EarthshotPrize finalist🌏🏆!
We're at #LCAW2026
As part of our session, we’re bringing together government partners and researchers working across @JPAL_SA , @JPAL_Africa & @JPAL_MENA, focusing on how climate evidence and policy come together in practice.
More about our speakers: bit.ly/4xDF7yN
We’ll be at London Climate Action Week along with @JPAL_Africa and @JPAL_MENA!
As climate risks intensify, the real question isn’t just what works, but how evidence gets translated into decisions & scaled within governments.

📰: “The future of solar☀️ in India 🇮🇳 is promising - but it will be determined less by how many gigawatts we install & more by how intelligently we manage the demand..." @JPAL affiliated Prof. Teevrat Garg told @WIONews.
@JPAL_SA's #SARWA is scaling that evidence.
