Theme
It is clear that in order to achieve a climate-just world, we need to address deep-seated societal challenges through transformative change. This year, the 2nd WFCJ will have two leading themes:
- Climate Justice & COP26
On the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, we need to assess whether and how the global climate governance community can reduce the inequities and injustices of climate change across the planet.
- Climate Justice & COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all aspects of social life, with significant consequences for climate resilience, vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation at global, national and local levels. What can we learn from the pandemic in the pursuit of climate justice, and how has the pandemic affected the lived experiences of climate change?
