Quote card with image of Erika Moranduzzo, PhD researcher, and Leeds at COP29 wordmark on the left. Quote reads: “A lack of engagement with social justice issues will only lead to a transition towards a greener workforce, but not a fairer or more just one.”

One of #COP29’s themes for today is gender, something PhD researcher and member of our delegation in Baku, Erika Moranduzzo, explores in her work in the School of Law.
