Dear All: 

I am happy to share with you this conference organized by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Climate Justice. 

Best regards

Massimo

27/10/2021 - 4:30 – 7:30 P.M. CEST

The conference will host several international guests to discuss the crucial issues regarding the transition toward a just and low-carbon society.

The conference will start with an overview of the global carbon budget, with a focus on present emissions and possible future scenarios. Then, will be presented mitigation campaigns for social and energy transition, specifically the international campaign for the adoption of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Italian national legal campaign “Giudizio Universale”. Chase Iron-Eyes will report the battle of the Lakota indigenous people, whose territory is strongly threatened by the fossil fuel industry. Then, the conference will investigate interactions between research and environmental battles with the campaign which led to the ban of gas flaring activities in Ecuador. Finally, the Jean Monnet Centre will share its project to map good practices of environmental justice.
