The Future of Climate Justice in Denmark and Beyond: Diplomacy, Democracy, Activism

One-day conference.

What is climate justice? How do histories of the concept and its related practices push us to rethink existing local and global climate politics? How is it interpreted, applied, and contested among social movements, civil society organizations and in government institutions? And what does this all mean for a country like Denmark?

Save the date for this conference, in which scholars, activists and practitioners will explore questions of climate justice across three thematic streams: diplomacy, democracy, and activism.
