Climate Justice and the Commonwealth
The Ramphal Institute is pleased to announce its webinar and policy series on Climate Justice, one of several work programmes addressing global development challenges and issues facing Commonwealth member states that will be delivered this year.
‘Climate justice’ is a concept that recognises that although climate change and global warming are global crises, their effects are experienced or felt unevenly around the world, with countries and communities in the Global South being the most disproportionately affected, especially small island developing states (SIDS) and developing countries in coastal areas but also those that are landlocked. From crop failures to extreme heatwaves and storms and severe droughts, many people in Commonwealth member states and regions are being adversely moved.
This webinar and policy series led by Climate Justice activist and researcher Kelsie Garbutt will address key aspects of climate justice in Commonwealth member states and aims to illuminate some of the policy and political choices that have and continue to result in climate justice issues across the wider Commonwealth. It will also highlight how Commonwealth member states and peoples are experiencing and responding to these.
Join us for this exciting and informative new series.
