Co-hosted by the Climate Social Science Network and the German Development Institute (DIE), the conference held virtually on 8-10 June will coincide with the Subsidiary Bodies sessions SB-56 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in Bonn, 6-16 June.
Conference sessions include:
The majority of the conference will be open to the public, discussing key issues of how climate action is being framed in public discourse, how past actions – and inaction – have brought about present challenges, and how we can best approach change for the future at the local, national, international, and global levels.
