North-South Climate Justice: Bringing Two Poles Closer Together
At several UN Climate Change Conferences (COP) the Global North and Global South relied on two opposite arguments regarding financial climate justice measures. While there is acceptance of historic responsibility, there is no agreement on necessary and urgent actions. Prior to the COP28 in November 2023, questions arise again. How do these two opposite poles define global climate justice and what can be done for them to come together.
Session objective: Building understanding – Build your understanding by learning about personal insights and experiences as well as developments in science, society, politics or world affairs.
//INFO: Because of bad weather the session will take place in the ground floor (EG3) of the elementary school ("Volksschule") of Alpbach.
