Climate justice activism 2.0: Summit for strategies toward systemic change
Timeframe: 01.03.2025-30.04.2026
Our world is facing climate and biodiversity crises that require immediate action. Young people are at the forefront of movements fighting to address these issues, but they face a complex landscape of challenges including climate anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of regressive movements as well as a shrinking space for civil society and a shifting political agenda due to economic struggles and rising geopolitical tensions.
Climate justice activism 2.0: Conference for strategies toward systemic change seeks to bring together young climate justice activists (18-30 years) from the Nordic countries during a summit where they will work together to develop strategies for systemic change. The project empowers youth by providing tools, skills and connections to increase impact.
Project Objectives
Objective 1
Create long-term impact by empowering young climate justice activists to drive systemic change through effective strategies.
Objective 2
Encourage collaboration and alliances between Nordic climate activist networks.
Expected Results
Mapping Barriers
Through local workshops, climate justice activists will be able to share their experiences within activism, the challenges they face, and the opportunities they see. Their inputs will form the basis for a Climate Justice Summit in Malmö in autumn 2025.
Climate Justice Summit
During a two-day summit, young climate justice activists from the Nordic region will come together in Malmö to discuss challenges to impactful climate justice activism, share best practices, and collaborate to develop strategic approaches to driving change.
A Guide Book
The approaches and strategies developed during the Climate Justice Summit will be collected in a guide book to be shared among climate activist networks.
