You're invited!

We're very excited to announce that registration is open for Atlantic Council for International Cooperation's annual 2020 Symposium! This year the Symposium will take place online. This has created wonderful opportunities for us to open up registration to all (and not just those able to come to the Atlantic) and to have a great variety of both local and international speakers! This is a great opportunity to connect with others in the Atlantic, in Canada and around the world. As speakers are confirmed we'll update the website with details.

Keynote confirmed! We're very pleased to have Dr. Ingrid Waldron speak at our Symposium. Join Dr. Waldron as she discusses environmental racism as exemplified through the case of Nova Scotia, its impact on communities in the province and Atlantic Canada. We will also look at actions The ENRICH project and communities have taken to address the issues. See more HERE<https://www.acic-caci.org/keynote>.

Just Climate Action | Gender, Democracy and Local Movements features a variety of keynote speakers and panelists from around the world, with diverse perspectives, as we reflect on dimensions of justice as we take action towards a sustainable future. The ACIC Symposium will unpack and explore various dimensions of justice and action regarding climate change, at both a local and global level. This includes exploring aspects of gender, democratic, and legalistic justice, rights-based approaches, citizen-led approaches, advocacy and social accountability, and local/global conceptions of justice. These are at times complementary, and perhaps more frequently in tension as the youth, grassroots movements, Indigenous people, business, INGOs and multinationals grapple with (or increasingly deny!) the reality of a changing world. In times of intense reactions and counter-reactions, complements and tensions need to be identified and discussed to fully realize the challenges and opportunities we face in a world that will soon be uninhabitable for many.

In this year's Symposium, we will discuss what justice means in the context of climate change, how we as citizens can develop local and global strategies to counteract it, and the structural inequalities that must be transformed for a just climate transition. We encourage participants to consider how climate change and justice are related to their work - both programmatically but also in terms of greenwashing, intergenerational equity, organizational reactions to climate change (carbon offsets, advocacy, etc.), and more.

We're excited to have you attend. REGISTER HERE<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/symposium-2020-just-climate-action-gender-democracy-and-local-movement-registration-123129051307> for free TODAY!
