Event description:
The Yale Center for Environmental Justice (YCEJ) is hosting the 6th Global Environmental Justice Conference titled Environmental Joy: Roadmaps for Resistance, Resilience, and Thriving, held on November 8-9, 2024. This year’s conference will occur just days after the 2024 U.S. general election, a time of much political uncertainty. Additionally, 2024 is a record year where over half the world will have experienced elections. The conference will provide an early opportunity for environmental and climate leaders to convene, strategize, and forge paths forward despite the complexities of political environments across the globe. At its core, the conference will center joy as a means to inspire hope, direction, and action.
The conference agenda will consist of tracks, interactive sessions, plenaries, and exhibitions/showcases for its art and culture components, to spark synergies among existing efforts as well as innovation and scale for new environmental justice work. The audience for the conference includes environmental and climate justice communities, policymakers, academics, and thought leaders in faith and culture, though all are welcome to attend. A significant fraction of conference sessions will be designed to be hybrid, with presentations tailored to deliver experiences optimized to each modality. Plenary sessions will be recorded for more comprehensive, post-conference dissemination.
