One of the project’s members, PhD Researcher and research assistant Maria Nordvall, participated at BEYOND COP28: CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUTH, this spring as the Arctic representative. Professor David Anderson, (UK PI Archeritage) is recognised as a key supporter and friend of the COP28 youth team. The virtual event aimed to review and reflect on COP28, particularly in relation to the 1.5°C goal, the disproportionate impacts of climate change and ensuring that marginalised voices and communities are included in climate change discussions.
Nordvall’s focus was on raising awareness of green colonialism and how a true green transition cannot be made at the expense of indigenous peoples. The report from the event has now been published: FINAL BEYOND COP28_ REPORT
