In this episode of In Solidarity, we’re joined by Dr. Indu Murthy, Senior Principal Research Scientist at CSTEP, where she leads work on climate resilience, sustainability, and environmental policy.With decades of experience in conducting climate vulnerability assessments across India, Dr. Murthy brings sharp insight into how climate risk frameworks can - and must - better include women workers in the informal sector.In this episode, we speak with her about why smaller women-led collectives like primary cooperatives and nano enterprises need tools to assess and adapt to climate risks. We also explore the state of climate preparedness in India’s development sector and what it will take for grassroots organizations to build resilience in the face of increasingly erratic weather events.From agroecological transitions to decentralised renewable energy, Dr. Murthy reflects on what’s missing in India’s current approach to climate adaptation - and how collectivisation can offer a meaningful pathway forward, especially for women farmers and informal workers.Tune in for a rich conversation on integrating gender, livelihoods, and collective action into the heart of climate planning.
