Climate Justice & Locality

Join is in our October Forum when we discuss climate justice and locality. We know that climate change can harm our most vulnerable communities globally, nationally and locally as well. If we do not address this then we may not be successful in tackling climate change itself. Climate change is as much about social justice as it is anything else.

In this forum we discuss the importance of addressing climate justice in our localities -how do our most vulnerable communities get land justice like green spaces and public space to engage and meet. How do we need to develop a place based approach to our local communities so we can find out more about their needs as the planet heats up and extreme weather affects us all?

Joining Our Discussion Will Be |

Jasmine White who is a creative producer and will join us to discuss how we can shift power and resources to young people and local communities as climate change becomes an ever growing crisis. She will also talk about a project she is setting up to achieve this

Hali Healy is from the University of Birmingham where they have done a lot of work on a place based approach to how localities adapt to climate change. She will tell us why she thinks this place based locality approach is important and what we can do to achieve it.

Clara Espinosa is from the City Bridge Trust and will tell us how they have repurposed their grants to ensure sustainability, to tackle climate adaptation and to enable a responsive approach to tackling the biggest challenges faced by Londoners.

One example of a place-based approach is repair cafés. Josie Ball is from The Restart Project and they are hoping to start a new Community Repair Group in Enfield, that will run regular repair cafes in different locations across the borough,
