For the third lecture of the Trinity Term Annual Lecture Series on ‘Global Education’, Dr Mary Robinson, will discuss ‘Educating for climate justice after the Paris climate agreement’.
Speaker
Dr Mary Robinson founded The Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice, which aims to be ‘a centre for thought leadership, education and advocacy on the struggle to secure global justice for those many victims of climate change who are usually forgotten – the poor, the disempowered and the marginalised across the world.’ She also served as the first female President of Ireland from 1990 to 1997, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, from 1997 to 2002.
