Asar, in partnership with the Community for Gender Equality and Climate Justice, launched the Gender and Climate Learning Series in July 2025, designed to deepen understanding, spark dialogue, and strengthen action at the critical intersection of gender and climate change.

Over four sequenced webinars, the series translated grassroots work into a shared learning space that participants could engage with, reflect on, and contribute to laying the groundwork for a community of practice. 

The fourth webinar, “𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧,” explored  how communities, especially women, have been at the heart of powerful organising through informal gatherings, art, music, storytelling, and everyday acts of care. It deep-dived into how these spaces have nurtured counter-cultures that shift dominant narratives, reclaim dignity, and make climate action a deeply personal and collective experience.

This learning brief explores with case studies how counter-cultures shift dominant systems and narratives around climate and the practices, and creative tools for building equitable and just climate futures.
