COVID-19 RESPONSE AND POSTPONED ARCC FORUM
As many of us look towards a time of post COVID-19, one thing is certain...uncertainty.
We recognize that we are all trying to navigate this new world and dealing with many of our lives now in a state of flux. All of us at Earth Rights Institute want you to know that we care deeply about your wellbeing and our thoughts are with you. We stand firm in our conviction to carry on our work to help and support our programs and partners all around the world.
Obviously, we were saddened to have to postpone our UCLA Africa’s Readiness for Climate Change (ARCC) Forum. UCLA African Studies Center and ERI are committed to eventually inaugurating this important forum, but realistically, we are aiming for Spring 2021. We appreciate our keynote speakers’ enthusiasm to come and discuss how we might accelerate ambitious solutions and build stronger global partnerships between our African colleagues developing strong impactful African initiatives and international climate action leaders.
