We are pleased to invite researchers, activists, and all those interested to the Closing Conference of the JustFutures project. This event marks the completion of our research journey, creating a space for critical reflection on its findings and new directions for climate justice research and action.
In a world where the impacts of climate change are deeply entangled with social and political injustices, young activists are not only navigating uncertain futures but also challenging dominant frameworks that shape how these crises are understood and addressed. This seminar will explore how youth—both within and beyond organized movements—are shaping plural, context-driven climate futures while questioning the limits of activism and institutional politics. Bringing together researchers and activists, the event will serve as both a moment of closure and a point of departure, opening space for emerging approaches to agency, political imaginaries, justice, and transformation.
Event Format:
- Project Insights: The JustFutures team will present key research findings.
- Roundtable Discussion: Researchers and activists will engage in a conversation on ways of knowing and acting on climate change amid growing polarization and unpredictability.
