We are honoured to welcome internationally recognised lawyer and climate justice activist Farhana Yamin, as our closing keynote speaker. She will talk about the challenges and opportunities of reframing ‘climate’. 

Farhana has provided legal and strategy advice to small islands leaders and ministers on UN climate negotiations for 30 years, attending nearly every COP/UN climate summit since 1991. Farhana trained as an outdoor education leader, focusing on nature connection, including how to support racialised minorities to access  and enjoy green spaces.

She runs the Climate Justice and Just Transition Donor Collaborative which brings together some of the world’s largest climate philanthropies to create climate solutions that also tackle systemic inequalities. Farhana also coordinates the Climate Reframe Project which seeks to amplify the voice of climate activists and experts from racialized minorities in the UK environment movement.
