Eco-Africa is set to host the second edition of its Climate Justice Conference, building on the success of its maiden event held last year, which examined the role of law and policy in advancing sustainable development through youth leadership, equitable finance, and inclusive governance.

This year’s conference focuses on one of Ghana’s most urgent environmental challenges—illegal mining, popularly known as “galamsey.”

Under the theme “Galamsey and the Environment,” the three-hour event seeks to raise awareness of the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) environmental crimes policy and explore its implications for Ghana, examine galamsey as a climate, governance, and public health crisis, while advocating for stronger accountability measures for corporations, financiers, and public officials complicit in environmental degradation.

Moderator:
David Quaye, Africa Governance Centre

Speakers:
Dorcas Agyei, IUCN Ghana
Jessica Johnson, ReMI
Noah Bugre, UNIYIA
Maxwell Asare Boateng, Stop Ecocide International
