LCOY 2025 Themes

Throughout the conference, we will focus on the following three themes in our workshops: Reducing Emissions, Adaptation, and Funding the Future.

Reducing Emissions: This category will focus on actions to reduce the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (climate mitigation) and to properly support a just transition in our workforce/economy away from fossil fuels.

Adaptation: Adapting to life in a changing climate – involves adjusting to actual or expected future climate. The goal is to reduce or avoid harm to people and nature from the harmful effects of climate change (like sea-level rise, more intense extreme weather events, or food insecurity).

Funding the Future: Climate finance is a term that refers to financial resources that support actions to address climate change. These resources can come from public, private, or alternative sources, and prioritization of funding to frontline communities or certain initiatives is also very important.
