Workshop Series: What Is Climate Justice and How Can It Be Applied?
In November and December, the KIN ACT work programme organised a series of workshops on climate justice at local, national, and international levels. For KIN and many of its partners, just climate transitions are a key principle underlying all projects and activities. The aim of the workshops was to collaboratively develop a working definition of climate justice based on cases brought forward by participants and to identify how this concept can be practically applied.
Open now: Call for Network Grant for Transdisciplinary Networks
The KIN has launched a new network subsidy this month to promote the formation of transdisciplinary networks aimed at accelerating climate transitions. The Pact Network Subsidy can now be applied for by networks consisting of at least one knowledge institution and at least two societal partners, with the main applicant being affiliated with KIN Pact. Applications will be assessed based on the extent to which the plan aligns with KIN’s objectives and the effectiveness of the proposed plan.
