Climate change is an intensifying global crisis that exacerbates existing inequalities, placing a disproportionate burden on marginalized communities—those who contribute the least to the problem yet endure the heaviest toll. From small island nations threatened by rising sea levels to urban neighborhoods facing extreme heat, food insecurity, and displacement, vulnerable populations around the world are struggling to adapt to impacts that jeopardize their health, livelihoods, and cultural heritage. These communities, often sidelined in policy-making and resource allocation, bear the brunt of a crisis they did not create, standing on the frontlines of climate change’s most profound challenges.

This event seeks to highlight the pressing need for Climate Justice, bringing together a diverse group of experts and stakeholders to explore both the obstacles and pathways to achieving a fair, inclusive response to climate change. By highlighting innovative approaches—from community-led adaptation strategies to policy frameworks that emphasize equity and resilience—we aim to foster a more just climate response that leaves no community behind. Through thoughtful dialogue and knowledge exchange, our goal is to inspire collaborative solutions that uphold planetary health while advancing social justice, creating a future where the most affected can thrive in the face of environmental adversity.
