Climate justice is a term bandied around, but do we really grasp what it means what we speak it?

On Wednesday October 28th, we will be hosting the first event of our 2020/2021 Learning Hub which revolves around four winning books. This first event will be based on Mary Robinson's book, Climate Justice. For this event, we've invited two esteemed figures in the world of climate justice to speak with us about the concept and how the theoretical underpinnings of the term play out in practice on human lives both locally and globally, and we're so excited to have them on board.

Nathan Thanki is a network coordinator and coalition builder at Demand Climate Justice as well as an author. He was very involved in the recent project exploring framing climate justice and writes at worldat1c.

Seán McCabe is a researcher with TASC, a think tank for action on social change and is currently developing a workstream on Just Transition.

On the 28th, we hope that those who attend will leave with an awareness of the concepts of Climate Justice and Just Transition, with an understanding of fair shares and historical responsibility, and with some information as to where they can go to take meaningful and impactful action locally.

With thanks to Irish Aid for funding this activity.
