With Earth Day around the corner, our Asia in Focus programme is launching two new episodes, this time on #ClimateJustice!

Asia is considered the region most impacted by climate change. Are government and business leaders acting quickly enough to mitigate the risks? What is the role of Climate Justice in accelerating solutions? In this episode, we will unpack the issue of Climate Justice in Asia and its nexus with Business and Human Rights.

- What is #ClimateJustice?
- Can climate justice lead to concrete actions from governments and businesses?
- Can we hold businesses accountable in Asia for its adverse impacts on climate change?
- What is the view of Asia’s Youth?

Be sure to join the conversation with:

- H.E. Yuyun Wahyuningrum, Chair and Representative of Indonesia to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights
- Matthew Baird, Director of the Asian Research Institute on Environmental Law
- Roberto Eugenio T. Cadiz, Former Commissioner at Commission on Human Rights in the Philippines
- Sor.Rattanamanee Polkla, Executive Coordinator of the Community Resource Centre Foundation
