"Climate Justice Can Help Secure a Good Future for All"

SA+P's* Intellectual Commons* event series continues this spring with a
keynote by Mary Robinson, lawyer, politician, and climate justice advocate
who served as president of Ireland (1990-97) and as United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights (1997-2002).

"*The Frameworks negotiated by members states of the UN in 2015-2030 Agenda
and the Paris Climate Agreement - appeared to be voluntary or weak in
enforceability. Now, however, through the lens of climate justice, we can
see that they are imperative frameworks for human survival. The challenge
is to galvanise political will globally, and commit to transformative
change which will leave no one behind."*

-Mary Robinson
