The G7 Summit represents over half of the world economy. Current governmental climate pledges are nowhere near what is needed to meet the Paris Agreement and mitigate catastrophic climate change, while the pandemic has exacerbated existing global inequalities. Agreements made at the G7 will be critical in deciding whether we can adequately address the climate crisis, covid pandemic and overlapping global inequalities.

Join our international press conference to hear from across the climate justice movement about the steps that must be taken in order to achieve a true green recovery and why the climate crisis and global inequality cannot be solved without solutions based on climate justice. Speakers will address some of the key themes of the G7 Summit, highlighting the areas in which we are failing and challenging governments’ empty promises. The key G7 themes that will be addressed include Covid-19 vaccines, trade, green recovery and jobs, climate crisis and democracy.

Speakers:

Clive Lewis, Member of Parliament for Norwich South and Co-Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Green New Deal

Richard Kozul-Wright - Director of the Division on Globalization and Development Strategies at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Kevin Anderson - Climate scientist, former Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research

Fatima Hassan - Director of Health Justice Initiative

Asad Rehman - War On Want
