PISFCC and WYCJ Win Global Climate Leadership Award

A milestone was reached this year when Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change and World’s Youth for Climate Justice wereawarded the Global Climate Leadership Award as the Civil Society and Foundation Laureate at COP28 Climate Law and Governance Day, at Middlesex University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on 06/12/23. 

Every year, legal experts and organisations are honoured with the Global Climate Leadership Award for their significant contributions to the advancement of international climate legislation and development. This award encourages cooperation between organisations, governments, and people who are committed to addressing the issues caused by climate change, as well as to inspire continuous commitment to climate action.

Our ICJAO4Climate campaign is making a big impact by encouraging a worldwide shift on how we view the future. Our campaign advocates for changing international law and establishing a foundation for a system that countries can use to deal with climate change issues while protecting our future. 

Receiving the global climate leadership award shows our campaign’s recognition on the world stage, and it also strengthens our committment to protecting the Pacific and the earth for the generations to come. Our campaign is hope as we face the serious problems of climate change and it also highlights how important it is for countries to work together to solve the biggest problem of our time.

The award was received by members from our organisation and World's Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ), and we sincerely shared our heartfelt gratitude with our friends, partners, and allies, especially our colleagues at WYCJ. We dedicated the award to everyone who has helped and is helping us continue the journey for climate justice.
