Beyond Climate Collaborative

Leaving?#COP29?with a mix of reflection and resolve. Founding Executive Director, Lauren Grant, and Programme Coordinator, Gabriela Nagle Alverio, were privileged to represent the BCC by engaging and facilitating critical dialogues on?#resilience,?#climateducation,?#knowledgeproduction,?#climatejustice?and?#decoloniality?in the context of environmental (im)mobilities. These discussions highlighted both progress made in the field and the immense challenges still ahead. We were delighted to connect with powerful, change-making colleagues and organizations working to advance climate mobility justice, including alumni of the International School on Climate Mobilities! We express our solidarity with developing nations in the wake of disappointing outcomes from the?#COP29?negotiations. As we leave Baku with new connections, friends and colleagues, we are energized to advance our mission supporting emerging leaders advance?#EnvironmentalMobilityJustice?. The clock is ticking, and the world cannot afford incremental change. It’s time for large-scale, transformative action to ensure that efforts to advance the well-being of the planet and her people are rooted in rights, dignity, equality and justice. With special thanks to Just Atonement Inc. and Dave-Inder Comar for their support towards our presence at COP. And to our event partners IOM - UN Migration, Global Centre for Climate Mobility, We Are Family Foundation, La Ruta del Clima, Duke University & all the other great organisation we were able to exchange with.

?? Join the Conversation on Climate Justice and Human Mobility! ?? 21 November ?? 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM (GMT+4) ?? IOM Pavilion, COP29 Climate change doesn't affect everyone equally, and its impacts on migration often deepen existing inequalities. Vulnerable and marginalized communities face unique challenges, with limited options for resilience and adaptation. We hope to see you at this important discussion, hosted by IOM - UN Migration and La Ruta del Clima ??

Join us tomorrow, November 20th, from 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM at the GAUC Pavilion, Green Zone, for Synergies and Learning: Innovative Approaches to Climate Education! ??? This panel is a unique opportunity to explore and share diverse, transformative approaches to climate education across the globe, highlighting the vital role of education in shaping a sustainable future. We are joined by a range of great organisations and speakers: Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC), Refugee Legal Support, International School on Climate Mobilities, We Are Family Foundation, ClimaTalk, ArabYouthSD, Climate Fresk and Cambridge Climate Society ?? A huge shoutout to ISCM alum Emily Rowe for organizing this important discussion! ??

?? ?? I am incredibly honored and excited to facilitate this discussion on 'Decolonizing Knowledge Production on Climate-Related (Im)mobilities' at #COP29 ?? Amidst a robust agenda of informative and engaging #ClimateMobility events at the COP, few have shed light on the unevenness of #KnowledgeProduction on the topic, a challenge that cannot be overlooked as critical Global South perspectives remain marginalized. ?? Effectively unpacking and adequately addressing climate-related (im)mobilities requires us to disrupt these inequities, to value the knowledge and wisdom of ALL researchers and those with lived experience and to expand opportunities for engagement, beyond exclusionary spaces in #research, #advocacy and #praxis. ?? Join us on Tuesday, Nov 19th @3pm in the Youth House, Green Zone at COP29 Azerbaijan UN Climate Change We Are Family Foundation Beyond Climate Collaborative International School on Climate Mobilities YOUNGO

Big news from COP29! ??? Today, our Programme Coordinator, Gabriela Nagle Alverio, took the stage at the COP29 side event Voices of Resilience: Navigating Climate Mobility. Representing Duke University, Gabriela shared the spotlight with an incredible panel of changemakers: Noelle Young and Jeshua Bardoo (He/They) from CCJLA, Jervon Sands (director of Born, Bred, Ga Dead ??), and Benedict Fosu Arthur, Climate Mobility Youth Delegate. Together, they explored the urgent stories and solutions driving resilience in the face of climate pressures and mobility. ???? #COP29 #ClimateAction #VoicesOfResilience

?? Decolonizing Knowledge Production on Climate-Related (Im)mobilities at #COP29! Did you know that by 2050, over 200M people may be displaced by climate change—and yet 85% of those in high-risk areas won’t move due to social, economic, and political barriers? This is the reality of climate (im)mobilities, a challenge deeply affecting the Global South ?? But here’s the problem: over 80% of research on this topic comes from European institutions, missing critical perspectives from the Global South. ?? Join us for a powerful session led by youth changemakers in climate (im)mobilities! Together, we’ll explore evidence-based solutions through decolonial, feminist, and environmentally just approaches. ??? Speakers: ??? Lauren Grant, Beyond Climate Collaborative ??? Italo Ribeiro Alves, PhD Student & UNICEF M&E Specialist ??? Rabeb Aloui, YOUNGO Climate Migration Working Group ??? Crispus Mwemaho, Abayuuti Climate Action Network WHEN: Tuesday, Nov 19th @ 3PM WHERE: Youth House, Green Zone, COP29 in Baku ???? ?? Let’s rewrite the narrative together! Don’t miss this. #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #COP29 #YouthVoices

??Our mission is to exchange knowledge, ideas, and resources to support emerging leaders in advancing environmental mobility justice. ??We aim to build bridges that help these leaders through processes of (un)learning and (re)imagining ways of working to address climate change and environmental displacement through the lenses of environmental, migrant, racial, feminist, and social justice. ??Our vision is a world where all people – everywhere – feel valued, embrace and celebrate their knowledge, and lean into their authentic gifts to inspire regenerative, transformative action towards a more just, sustainable, and resilient world for all.
