    Climate Justice Community Forum 2024

    Join us for this interactive online written discussion to exchange insights on how we can prioritise people in climate change strategies and actions.

    Background

    The Business Fights Poverty Climate Justice Series will run alongside COP29 in November 2024, featuring this forum, as well as articles and podcasts to mark the occasion.

    This forum provides an opportunity to connect with peers and global advocates to explore how we can prioritize people in climate change strategies and actions. It combines an online written discussion with a parallel community networking event on Zoom (RSVP here 15).
