Climate Justice Community
Climate Justice is a global framework that addresses the complex impacts of climate change with the goal of creating a more just, fair, and equitable future.
Climate Justice goes beyond traditional borders and boundaries, linking private and public sectors, and connecting local and global dimensions. It encompasses policymaking, governance, legal, social, economic, technological, and intergenerational challenges.
To accelerate progress, cross-sector collaboration and shared understanding are essential. That’s why The Hague Humanity Hub is building a community around Climate Justice, bringing together motivated, impact-driven individuals and organisations from The Hague and beyond. Our aim is to foster initiatives, support discussions, and promote collaboration by facilitating connections and sharing knowledge.
