TALAB talk by the Ateneo Project for Asian and International Relations as part of their Discourse & Dialogue series entitled “Just Transitions & the International Community: Common but Differentiated Responsibilities Approach” happening on October 14, 4-6PM at SOM 211.

Featuring speakers Atty. Roberto Eugenio T. Cadiz, Founding President of the Climate Action and Human Rights Institute (CAHRI), and Atty. Reinna S. Bermudez, Chief of the CHR Center for Social Justice and Humanitarian Protection (CHR CSJHP), the talk highlights the concept of Just Transitions through the role of different governance institutions, not only at the domestic and local levels but also international ones. In line with this year’s TALAB’s theme, “Walking with the Excluded,” Just Transitions, as a concept, inculcates the narratives of marginalized stakeholders in putting forth an more inclusive environmental action plans, and therefore, reconciling the long-term need to transition to more sustainable policies to combat climate change and yet the need to address current socio-economic issues that comes along such.
