IDS has started a ‘let’s talk about #climatejustice’ campaign on twitter.  It’s begun with a news story based on analysis of twitter conversations using Meltwater explore and videos from Shilpi and Pete Newell on what climate justice means, why they think it’s important and their message for COP26. 

This is timely because of the US climate summit being led by President Biden and also #EarthDay2021, but the aim is to increase twitter conversations about climate justice over the next couple of months, so we have some more video messages in the pipeline. We are also looking for more people to contribute and share video or written messages using #climatejustice and #TellCOP26

How you can help

Share your own message:

• We’re looking for more people to share their own messages to illustrate why climate justice is important – either written in a tweet or if you’re happy to record a short video message for us please let me know.  We’re looking for diverse examples from IDS staff, students or partners.  From how climate change impacts agriculture, sanitation, food security, religious minorities, health etc. If you are interested in recording a short video please email the IDS communications team or contact the IDS alumni office.
