Join "not Just a Transition, a Global Just Transition" – where we cut through climate buzzwords and dive into the real challenges. Explore why a "global just transition" matters beyond rhetoric. We dissect current transitions, critique narrow national interests, green growth obsessions, and ahistorical views. This isn't about problems; it's about dialogue, understanding, and action. It's not just a future vision; it's happening now. By embracing global interconnectedness, respecting history, and prioritising justice, we shape a present and future beyond extractivism. This event isn't just an event; it's a call to action – today, inspired by yesterday, building a brighter tomorrow.
