It is not enough to recognise that climate change is accelerating. Climate change is one of the greatest drivers of injustice the world has ever seen. Those who have contributed the least are facing the greatest burden from an increasingly volatile climate system. While everyone is witnessing the impacts of climate change, in many regions of the world people are losing their homes, livelihoods, culture and lives. The outcome document of COP26 – the Glasgow Climate Pact – is prominent, contentious and was reluctantly agreed by rich nations. Drawing on the language of ‘loss and damage’ this conversation will ask what needs to be done and how can we do it.
This panel event opens the third in the University of Edinburgh’s Futures Conversations series and features Adrienne Buller, Elizabeth Cripps, Tasneem Essop, Arunabha Ghosh, A. C. Grayling, Patricia Scotland, chaired by Dr Hermione Cockburn.
The first of three events in the Future of Climate Justice conversation, this discussion will take place in the University of Edinburgh’s Playfair Library. The in-person event will be livestreamed and is open to all. Limited tickets to the in-person event are available on a first come, first serve basis and must be booked in advance.
