Please join the Human Rights Institute for an intriguing discussion on "Bringing Climate Justice to Life: Methodologies for Working with Communities." As climate change accelerates, so do its uneven impacts on poor and marginalised communities. Climate justice calls for human rights and principles of racial, inter-generational and restitutional justice to be applied to the fight for a sustainable world. As lawyers and practitioners how do we put these principles into practice? And how do we build the power of communities disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis and their movements for climate justice? Drawing on our speakers’ expertise in human rights practice and political theory, this event will explore the kinds of methodologies practitioners can adopt to support collective action by those most impacted by climate change.
Speakers:
- Kelsey Jost-Creegan, Lecturer-in-Law, Deputy Director, Smith Family Human Rights Clinic
- Rebecca Marwege, Junior Director of the Columbia Climate School "Decarbonization, Climate Resilience and Climate Justice" Earth Network
