The event focuses on unsung heroes of climate action: local and indigenous communities and the considerable neglect which their climate action, and the violence against them, have been receiving in UN climate negotiations.
The event is an initiative of the Formas-funded Lund University project on Environmental Human Rights Defenders. The programme also features speakers from Colombia and Peru who talk about threats they face when defending their lands against challenges like mining and narcotrafficking.
