What’s happening at Wales Climate Week?

October 30, 2023 by Sarah Lawton

4th-8th December 2023, 5-day virtual conference

How do we tackle climate change in a fair way?

Wales Climate Week encourages a national conversation on climate change and provides an opportunity for a wide range of stakeholders to network and engage in important discussions on how Wales can play its part in tackling climate change.

The theme for this year’s Wales Climate Week is also one of the most important questions facing our society today: – How do we tackle climate change in a fair way?

Learn more about fairness in climate policy making and just transition

In Wales, the Welsh Government has committed to ensuring a just transition to a greener, more sustainable economy that isn’t reliant on fossil fuels. This means an approach driven by the guiding principle of leaving no-one behind. Wales Climate Week 2023 will feature a 5-day virtual conference examining the disproportionate impacts of climate change on different people, groups, organisations and places, and will explore how the benefits associated with new climate policies are distributed fairly across society. Sessions will provide an opportunity to learn more about the concept of fairness in climate policy making and just transition, and will help build understanding around the approach needed to ensure no-one is left behind through the transition to a more sustainable way of living.

Mobilise others to get involved in shaping future strategy, policies and solution

Contributors will also discuss how we can mobilise others to get involved in shaping future strategy, policies and solutions fairly through a new Just Transition Framework that will be the subject of a consultation beginning in December. The main audience for the virtual conference will be public sector organisations, businesses and industry bodies, trade unions, voluntary groups, environmental organisations, charities, academia, youth groups, equality networks amongst others. However, this is an open-invitation event and everyone is welcome to join in on the virtual climate conversation.

Participate in a series of virtual climate conversations

Alongside the conference, a series of Climate Conversations will be held across Wales to involve community groups and members of the public in exploring the links between solutions for tackling climate change and the cost-of-living crisis. The aim of these conversations will be to encourage national, regional and local conversations with community groups, individuals, employed and self-employed workers throughout Wales on how we can tackle climate change in a fair way.

Anyone who visits the Wales Climate Week website can register online to receive information and updates and to attend the virtual conference. The website also explains how to submit an expression of interest for hosting a session during the virtual conference or hosting a Climate Conversation event to engage outreach networks in conversations on climate change.

Organise a climate conversation

Organisations across Wales are being encouraged to host their own Climate Conversations, either virtually or in person, between 4th December and 31st January 2024.

Climate Conversations will be held across Wales to involve community groups and members of the public in exploring the links between solutions for tackling climate change and the cost-of-living crisis. The aim of these conversations will be to encourage national, regional and local conversations with community groups, individuals, employed and self-employed workers throughout Wales on how we can tackle climate change in a fair way.

The Climate Conversations will form part of a Welsh Government consultation on a new Just Transition Framework to ensure we are hearing views from as many people as possible, representing diverse viewpoints and involving those voices that might otherwise be unheard.
