The University of Sussex Business School has announced a partnership with the Just North Project, an EU-funded climate action project exploring the perspectives and values that stakeholders can bring to Arctic economic decision-making. Together, they will co-host a Pavilion at the Blue Zone of COP28, the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 30 November until 12 December 2023.
COP28 is a crucial event for the global community to act on the climate crisis and to implement the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the global temperature rise to well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels. The conference will also mark the year of the Global Stocktake, a comprehensive assessment of the collective progress towards achieving the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement.
The co-hosted Just North Pavilion will showcase the research and insights of the Just North Project and its partners: the University of Sussex Business School, Michigan Technilogical University and UiT – The Artic University of Norway, on topics such as the economics of innovation and industrial policy, the energy transition, the circular economy, the future of work, and the ethics and justice of Arctic economic development. The Pavilion will also host a range of talks and events, featuring experts, policymakers, practitioners, and students from around the world.
