Event: Network launch for a new eco-social contract

What do Black Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion, the UN Secretary General, the International Trade Union Congress all have in common?

They are all calling for a new social contract.

As the world starts to emerge from the ravages of COVID-19, how can a new green and social contract start to emerge - one that rebuilds trust between citizens and people in power?

On 10th November we are coming together with networks across the world to launch a global research and action network exploring a new eco-social contract. Join us, and Kumi Naidoo, at the Bonn Symposium to find out more about joining the network.

Partnering with the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), and local authorities, civil society and academia, the network will explore opportunities and conditions for a new eco-social contract in which the conservation of biodiversity and social and environmental issues play a key role.

• How are issues of climate, race, and justice linked?

• In what ways are citizens already renegotiating the social contract via citizen assemblies, climate courts and participatory decision making?

• How do we collaborate to scale these efforts?
