Convening Global Experts
December 1–4, 2022

Register for virtual attendance to the
Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit.

As a global leader in climate, environmental and energy research, the University of Colorado Boulder is proud to partner with United Nations Human Rights to co-host the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit in December 2022.

From rising sea levels, extreme weather events, wildfires and droughts, to food insecurity, health impacts, mass migrations and increasing global conflict, there is no denying climate change is a humanitarian crisis. By gathering some of the world's foremost human rights, scientific, political, educational, cultural and industry leaders, we hope that, together, we can commit to specific outcomes that will address the adverse effects of climate change on human rights.
