At a time when democracy, the environment and rights face mounting challenges, collective organising takes on added importance, the organisation says. Climate justice, it argues, is not only about protecting the environment but about who has a voice, who is most affected by the climate crisis and who participates in decision-making.
The week's programme includes Environmental Democracy workshops, presentations, policy discussions, a Climate Justice Forum, cycling activities and a documentary screening. Civil society organisations, citizens, young people, academics, experts and local government representatives will have the opportunity to exchange experiences and develop proposals on environmental democracy, energy justice and mobility justice.
All events are free and require registration. The full programme and registration links are available at foecyprus.org/climate-justice-week-2026.
