The future of our planet calls for action, and this is the moment to stand alongside those shaping real solutions to the climate crisis.

The cities of Belém, Rio de Janeiro, and New York will simultaneously host a major international event, organized by FGV Direito Rio, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, and the World Commission on Environmental Law, on November 12 and 13. The event will bring together global leaders, renowned jurists, leading scientists, representatives of Indigenous peoples, young activists, and public officials.

The congress “A Mandate for All: the Legal and Civic Imperative to Confront the Climate Emergency” will gather experts from diverse fields to discuss the legal challenges and solutions to the climate crisis, strengthening global cooperation around the greatest urgency of our time: confronting the climate emergency with courage, innovation, and justice.

Over two intense days of debates, panels, and international networking, participants will explore topics ranging from the accelerating climate crisis to the role of cities, businesses, courts, and traditional communities in building a sustainable future.

Joining this event is an opportunity to be at the forefront of climate and legal transformation, exchange experiences with international experts, connect to global impact networks, and bring new ideas and practices to strengthen your community, institution, or organization.

Secure your spot and be part of this movement that unites law, science, civil society, and youth in a common call: act now for the planet.
