WiMS International Women’s Day 2026 webinar

Join the Network for Women in Marine Science (WiMS) and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM). for an interactive learning session on the Risks and Negative Side Effects (R+NSE) tool and the launch of the gender and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) lens!

This webinar will present the R+NSE tool and explore its recent adaptation for marine conservation initiatives through a gender and DEI lens. We will examine why broader participation and representation are not enough to guarantee inclusive analyses, and what methodological refinements are needed to surface hidden impacts.

The R+NSE tool provides a five-step framework to identify, analyse, mitigate, integrate, and monitor risks and unintended consequences in conservation projects. The tool helps address the possibility that well-designed initiatives may carry unintended risks and negative side effects that undermine social trust, equity, and long-term success.

The High tides, hidden risks and who gets left out session will include a facilitated lesson, some exercises and feature field experiences by users.

Date:  Tuesday, 10th March 2026

Time:  From 2:00 – 3:30 pm EAT
