The climate crisis unfairly impacts some individuals and groups more than others, based on gender, race, class, income, disability and location. Often those least responsible, are most likely to be impacted.

With a focus on the UK, this event explores how impacts are felt unequally and considers how injustices can be addressed. Asking:

• How and why does the climate crisis impact some people more than others? Who is most impacted?

• What does climate justice mean in practice?

• With a focus on the UK, how could the unequal impacts of climate change be addressed?

• How can the voices of those impacted most by climate change be central to shaping our response?

• How can the climate movement and utility sectors become more inclusive and diverse?

Panellists:

• Suzanne Dhaliwal – Climate Justice Creative, Campaigner, Researcher, Lecturer in Environmental Justice and Trainer in Creative Strategies for Decolonisation

• Sarah Hopkins – Director, Cynnal Cymru - Sustain Wales

• Michael Mikulewicz – Research Fellow, Centre for Climate Justice

• Ravina Singh – UK Cities Senior Engagement Officer, CDP

This event is part of the 'Together for a Fair Climate Future' online discussion series.

This series of six open events will focus on how action for the climate crisis and social justice can come together and how to recover from the Covid-9 pandemic in a way that's fair, innovative, and positive for the environment. Through the events we hope to develop positive, imaginative visions for wellbeing (social, economic, environmental) and practical actions for change. Involving activists, artists, filmmakers, academics, policymakers, utility companies, community organisers, and others.
