Just Recovery Gathering

Recharge. Rebuild. Reconnect.

April 9-11, 2021

People around the world are coming together to collectively reimagine our future. Join us.

Now is the time for the climate movement to reconnect! The Global Just Recovery Gathering is a three-day online event featuring interactive workshops, cultural sessions, and hands-on trainings. Build your skills, strengthen relationships, and hear from a powerful line-up of climate leaders, artists, and musicians in every corner of the world. Join us in designing a new path towards a better future for all.

Choices are being made right now that will shape our society for years and decades to come.

A Just Recovery from the pandemic that simultaneously tackles the climate crisis is essential. What ideas do we have, what opportunities do we see in the horizon, what can we learn — and how can we collaborate with one another?

During the Global Just Recovery Gathering, there will be:

Panels

There will be exciting panels featuring incredible activists and thought leaders from around the world.

Workshops

There will be a diversity of workshops on a variety of climate campaigning skills and topics.

Movement Stories

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! There is no cost to register or participate throughout the event.

The gathering will span over 3 consecutive days. In order to cover all time zones, and to ensure that no one will have to wake up very early or stay up very late, the gathering will consist of a series of 6 hours blocks of activities. Some sessions will be repeated in multiple blocks so that people in all timezones can participate.

Ideally, participants will attend the full block. It’s ok if you can only attend however long you are able to.

This is a public event. Participants should be aware of this when participating in sessions. In addition, you may want to consider your own digital security, such as using VPN.

Also, facilitators and moderators will work to ensure sessions are conducted with dignity and respect between participants.

This will be an interactive, dynamic online experience – much more than a standard webinar or zoom call. All you’ll need is a decent internet connection and a mobile phone/computer. (See more below if you think you may need help with either of these).

Once you’ve entered our virtual conference website, you will be able to: choose which sessions you want to attend, join both plenary presentations and smaller interactive workshops, chat 1-1 or in groups with other conference participants from around the world, and browse our ‘movement fair’ where partner organizations will display their work.

Beyond the key speakers, there will also be cultural sessions, break out workshops, as well as a space for networking and sharing.

Diversity is at the heart of this event, and we’re committed to building an accessible and multilingual experience. We acknowledge that access to clear, easy to understand information and communication is crucial for enabling participation. While recognizing our limited resources and capacity, we have chosen a key platform due to its accessibility functionalities. And we commit to providing interpretation, live-captioning, sign language interpretation and other accessibility tools in plenary sessions and whenever feasible. The set of languages for each session will be made available at least two weeks in advance of the event, in the agenda on the website.

We also would like to invite you to be a part of making this possible! If you have any feedback, needs or would like to volunteer yourself for providing accessibility support, please contact accessibility@justrecoverygathering.org by March 15th.

Acknowledging that internet connections vary in quality and cost around the world, 350.org may be able to provide monetary support to some individuals or groups of participants, through a Participation Equity fund that will be managed and assigned by 350.org’s national or regional teams.

We will broadcast the events on YouTube and Facebook, as those require less bandwidth (in those cases, though, other accessibility tools such as interpretation and translated simultaneous captioning are not available due to the platforms’ limitations). Wherever possible, we will be posting those events with captions afterwards.

350.org is an international movement of ordinary people working to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered in the United States. 350.org is hosting this event as a space for climate and social justice movements. Speakers, facilitators and artists will be speaking on their own behalf and do not necessarily represent 350.org’s views. If you want to donate and support this effort, click here.
