Hope in a time of crisis
The world is going through multiple interconnected crises, from climate change to conflict, rising inequality, hunger, and habitat loss – most of them caused by human activity. The science – time is running out. Yet, a wave of collective action, behavioral changes, nature and land-based solutions, political will and incentives offer hope for a just transition that can put people and nature on a path to recovery. In this plenary, leading policymakers, environmental lawyers, scientists, and journalists will share their journeys in navigating the climate crisis.
