This conference forms part of a developed by the Geneva Centre around climate change and human rights. This year, GC joins forces with tUrn, building on their previous collaboration in tUrn14, for an entirely online symposium, held as a satellite event of tUrn’s 15th international climate conference. This format will allow us to bring the discussion to a broader international audience than only the UN Geneva, while connecting perspectives from the UN human rights system, States, academia, civil society and communities directly affected by climate change.

Three moderated panels with pauses between. Join for one or all three.

Watch our website for speaker lists coming in early October.

4am—8am Pacific (GMT - 7:00) 

1pm—5pm CEST

Dana Nuccitelli, Lead Researcher for Citizens Climate Lobby

Although the current administration and Congress have implemented consistently anti-climate policies and laws, there remains one opportunity for a major climate policy win this year that enjoys bipartisan support: permitting reform. In this session, Citizens' Climate Lobby Research Manager and Yale Climate Connections journalist Dana Nuccitelli will discuss his personal journey as a climate researcher and journalist, the elements that are likely to be included in a permitting reform package, and the evidence indicating that it could avoid billions of tons of American climate pollution.

Climate trace gives us the visuals we have never had. This session offers a Spanish-language only headliner on how to track global emissions on Climate Trace. Using this tool, we can all track emissions from 74 million sources of greenhouse gasses and air pollutants worldwide. Navigate the site and share it widely to inspire more commitments to climate action.
