Climate Justice and Welfare Change

May 17 at 15:45–17:30, room Vingen 1+2

This session on Climate Justice and Welfare Change addresses the consequences of climate change for equity and fairness as well as the pathways to a more sustainable and just future. Climate concepts and institutions are interrogated in relation to their implications for justice at different scales. The session also offers space for a discussion of pathways towards climate justice considering what energy scenarios, just transitions and sustainable welfare can and should include. We welcome symposium participants to join us in these deliberations
