The second features the latest from the UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Development, Prof Surya Deva, as he discussed his pivotal framework for addressing climate justice, particularly around the pressing issue of loss and damage. We are proud to see the use of SEI’s work on multispecies justice used as a key principle for applying and evaluating remediation funding.
At SEI, our commitment to contributing crucial research and evidence to inform and impact pressing issues of climate change and biodiversity loss continues to grow.
This past month we convened a range of researchers for sessions of this year’s virtual Earth System Governance Forum; hosted visiting colleagues from the UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands; brought colleagues from SEI and the Brain and Mind Centre together to discuss common research themes in climate anxiety; started a new project with Sydney Policy Lab on the University’s responsibilities during climate disasters; hosted a visit from the Shanghai Disaster Management Bureau; and much more.
We also announced our Collaborative Grant recipients for 2025. SEI, as always, is proud to support transformative research that not only investigates, but actively engages with and impacts, key climate challenges.
Thank you for joining us and all your hard work.
