Climate Justice- Research for the World Resources Institute

In September 2012, the World Resources Institute and the Mary Robinson Foundation-Climate Justice, entered into a memorandum of understanding launching the Climate Justice Dialogue. The institute and the foundation believe that a new window of opportunity has emerged that provides a chance to motivate and generate climate equity thinking and action among nations. In December 2011, more than 190 countries convened in Durban, South Africa, and agreed to launch new negotiations toward an international climate agreement for 2015. Their goal is to influence the development of this agreement through the Climate Justice Dialogue. They wish to see a new agreement, which is “constructed in a manner that is informed by science, considers the specific needs of the populations most vulnerable to climate change, and catalyzes sustainable development.”
