Background & Programme

Climate change is a serious global challenge to sustainable development, social justice, human rights and equity. There is a need to develop a common understanding of the linkages between equality and climate change, using a common language for all stakeholder groups. The climate change forum would benefit from coordinated collaboration across sectors and institutions, increased capacity and commitment amongst policy makers, international organisations, global business, civil society and minority communities without excluding any groups.
The theme of this conference highlights social issues of climate change, such as the impacts on communities including equity/ethical issues and gender inequality. This conference offers a forum that stimulates empirical discussions from multi-sectoral stakeholder groups. Such an initiative would enable us to share practical knowledge/experience, exchange ideas, develop collaborations, and set up working groups in order to take actions for climate change mitigation & adaptation. This conference will bring together inter-disciplinary researchers and practitioners to meet, discuss and debate the global impacts of climate change.

Key topics:

Climate change & social impacts
Climate change & gender issues
Climate change & disadvantaged groups
Climate change & ethics
Climate change mitigation & adaptation
