SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS  Access to climate change justice for our mo
 st vulnerable citizens
DESCRIPTION:SustainabilityFocusHumanRightsThe session will explore and ex
 plain the human rights and development link\, within the meaning of Clim
 ate Change Justice. Moreover\, it will identify challenges faced by the 
 most vulnerable with the focus on women and girls\, in accessing fair\, 
 equitable and meaningful access to climate justice. Through some of thei
 r stories\, barriers and challenges accessing Legal Aid\, will become tr
 ansparent. It is known that 80% of people displaced by climate change ar
 e women [Gender\, climate change and food security\, issue brief\, 2016 
 UNDP]. The commitment to mainstream a gender perspective into environmen
 tal climate change and disaster risk reduction policies includes promoti
 on of women’s participation and leadership in decision making on environ
 mental and climate change issues. However\, when climate change justice 
 or environmental justice is sought by vulnerable citizens to safeguard h
 uman rights\, at local level within national borders\, is Legal Aid avai
 lable? Are there other approaches? What is meant by a ‘human centred app
 roach’\, within Climate Change Justice? Is it desirable that lawyers ada
 pt for the Climate Crisis through human centred approaches by learning a
 bout trauma informed practice skills\, mediation\, and restorative pract
 ice processes\, while advocating for the economic benefit of Legal Aid f
 or the most vulnerable\, who are seeking Climate Change or environmental
  redress and Justice? Justice is far too rarely described as ‘human cent
 red’\, yet to address climate change\, this session seeks to discover it
 s meaning and potential.\n\nSUSTAINABILITY FOCUS sessions marked as such
  are part of the IBA Annual Conference 2022 sustainability focus on Tues
 day and Thursday\, grouping sessions discussing different aspects of ESG
  and sustainability across the different legal fields.\n
