International online Conference on Climate Change and Climate Justice | Interconnected voices: Climate Change, Equity, and the way Forward
25 November 2020 - 26 November 2020
Berlin, Germany
The international online conference "Interconnected voices: Climate change, equity, and the way forward" provides a lens towards climate injustice within the broader context of climate change in 2020 by bridging a variety of processes, strategies, practices, and actors. The two days online conference aims to discuss these challenges in an interdisciplinary and inclusive way. Instead of moving scholars emitting additional and avoidable CO2, we want to move ideas, inspirations, and motivation in our interactive online format.
Climate change is a global and urgent issue that requires all existing brainpower. Creating a workspace where currently underrepresented groups can enter will encourage more diverse perspectives, will have a broader reach, and enable more creative, holistic, and sustainable solutions to the pressing issues we are facing. This conference aims at including a more diverse range of voices in the discussion.
The call for contributions refers to the following sessions:
25th November 2020: Climate Change
Challenges of climate change on water, energy, and environment (presentations)
Technical solutions - renewable energy (presentations)
Economic solutions (presentations)
Socio-political solutions (presentations)

26th November 2020: Climate INjustice
Different perspectives on climate justice (presentations)
Workshops on climate justice: how can we work on inclusive solutions? (workshop)
