Confronting Climate Change: Justice, Solutions and Future Visions
A panel discussion organised by Global Visions ry

On May 7th, 2025, we gathered at Musiikkitalo in Helsinki to confront the urgent questions posed by the climate crisis and to explore pathways toward justice, sustainability, and transformative futures.

As the impacts of climate change continue to intensify, so too does the need for solutions that are equitable, inclusive, and forward-looking. Climate change is not only an environmental issue—it is a question of justice, of systems and structures, and of the futures we choose to create.

What does a sustainable and just future truly look like? How can climate policy better reflect the needs and perspectives of the Global South? What forms of economic transformation are necessary to ensure a livable planet?

This public panel discussion brought together experts from diverse fields to explore the intersections of climate justice, sustainability, and future-oriented thinking. The conversation examined the responsibilities of individuals, institutions, and global actors in addressing the climate crisis—and the radical changes required to build an equitable world.

Panelists
Senja Laakso – Associate Professor, University of Helsinki
