Climate Reality Project Istanbul Hub
COP31 Focus: Climate Justice
Our top priority in the COP31 process, to which Turkey will host, is Climate Justice. For us, the climate crisis is not just a matter of carbon emissions, but also a matter of fairness.
Why this focus? We work to bring the voices of vulnerable groups (youth, women, and disadvantaged communities) who are least responsible for the climate crisis but most affected by it to decision-making bodies.
We aim to ensure that COP31 decisions are fair and inclusive not only technically but also socially. In this process, we are collaborating with Globalis to enable more people to have their voices heard and to be part of the solution.
In Brief, Us:
"Global Knowledge, Local Impact." As the Climate Reality Istanbul Hub, we are part of the solution to the climate crisis, guided by science and justice.
