Background
Organised by the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP), a joint initiative between the University of Sussex and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), the Symposium identifies synergies between climate and environmental justice, linkages between climate and health goals, and the mutual benefits of climate adaptation and development strategies.
The Symposium builds on recent UN activities in this area (including the 2019 UN Conference and the 2020 UN Consultation), as well as the Global Goals 2020 International Symposium co-hosted by the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development (CISD), SSRP, and partners.
