The Climate Justice Gathering is a series of events held in The Hague during the historic #ClimateICJAO hearings.

The Gathering aims to provide a centralised platform for diverse voices, facilitate collaboration and networking, actively engage young people and frontline communities in the oral proceedings and raise global awareness. This global unity surpasses borders and brings together cultures to amplify a collective demand for climate justice.

In the first week of the hearings, we held an Opening Ceremony, a People’s Assembly, a Candlelight vigil and an Indigenous knowledge and laws side event.
