Climate Justice: essential for advancing on all SDGs. How ambitiously and inclusively the world tackles climate change will determine our success or failure in achieving the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Today’s climate and environmental crises threaten the survival of humanity. All dimensions of our lives are affected, from our physical and mental health to our food, water and economic security. Though the climate emergency affects all of us, it exacerbates existing inequalities, such as those caused by wealth, age, race, and gender.

Addressing climate change must be done through solutions that redress inequalities, transform unequal relations of power and improve the well-being and resilience of frontline communities. As such, climate justice is essential for the advancement of all SDGs as well as the Paris Agreement.

The Dutch development and environment movement share a common ground that motivates their plea for climate justice. Both share a deep, acute concern about climate change, the desire to be part of the transition, and the understanding that a broad movement and united front is paramount for scaling up and out climate justice programs and exerting maximum political pressure, influence and power. In 2023 the Partos Innovation Hub launched the Climate Justice Community of Practice (CoP).

Climate Justice Community of Practice (CoP)

The purpose of the Community of Practice is to strengthen Partos members’ climate justice programs by learning if, how and when these programmes: 

  1. Can incorporate elements/principles of climate justice 
  2. Manage to reach considerable scale-up and scale-out. 

Furthermore, we hope to reach essential side effects on informing lobby & advocacy at national, European and other regional and global levels. Last but not least, we hope the trajectory leads to the mobilisation and collaboration of members, for example, on joint program design and implementation. 

Target group

The main focus of the CoP is on climate justice as part of programming. The main target group are development professionals working on the design and implementation of programmes. However, the CoP is open for all members of Partos and their partners, as well as other interested development professionals interested in Climate Justice Programs in the Global South.

Networks connect, communities care!

We aim to learn in a Community of Practice in which members commit to come together 4 or 5 times per year and actively share knowledge, experiences, lessons learned and define shared ambition and actions. Active inputs need to come from members and, where necessary, from external experts.
