UArctic - University of the Arctic - Climate Justice in the Arctic

The focus of this thematic network is climate justice, defined as a recognition of humanity’s responsibility for the disproportionate impacts of climate change on the poorest and most vulnerable people, in Arctic communities.

Goals

The overall goal of the Thematic Network on Climate Justice is to i) facilitate and enhance interdisciplinary research on climate justice and ii) establish a programme of educational exchanges on climate justice (including, for instance, GCU’s MSc Climate Justice). Sub-themes of the Thematic Network are: just transitions, climate security (migration, conflict, human trafficking), and the mental health impacts of climate change.

The goals of the thematic network include:

Establishing research partnerships and collaborations on issues such as just transitions, climate security (migration, conflict, human trafficking) and the mental health impacts of climate change with a focus on the indigenous and vulnerable Arctic communities.
Disseminating research findings and outreach on climate justice and climate change in the Arctic and what this means in terms of human rights & development.
Promoting educational exchanges on climate justice and the impacts of climate change in the Arctic.
