Communicating Environmental Justice: Many Voices, One Planet

Singapore, 13-17 July 2025

The 2025 IAMCR Conference in Singapore centres on the theme "Communicating Environmental Justice: Many Voices, One Planet", which explores the critical intersection of communication, environmental challenges, and social equity. Set against the backdrop of Singapore's unique position as a multicultural city-state vulnerable to climate change, the conference aims to amplify diverse perspectives on environmental communication. The theme underscores the urgent need for inclusive dialogue that addresses environmental crises, social inequalities, and the complex interactions between human communities and ecological systems.
