Association of Media and Communication Academic Professionals (AMCAP), with FCCU is delighted to welcome you to the ICA Regional Conference on Climate Change and Justice in Lahore, Pakistan.  This event indeed marks a significant milestone in our journey towards fostering a global dialogue in the field of Climate Change and Justice.

The collaboration involving AMCAP, FCCU, and ICA significantly enhances the academic influence in addressing Climate Change and Justice. AMCAP’s dedicated commitment to fostering research and upholding academic excellence in media and communication perfectly aligns with the objectives of the conference. As an independent and voluntary association, AMCAP actively establishes alliances that bring together Pakistan’s educational institutions and resources. Being the largest association in Pakistan aimed at facilitating collaborations among educational institutions, AMCAP firmly believes that that shared ideas and experiences can yield collective benefits. We are confident that this collaboration will not only enhance the event but also cultivate a community of scholars dedicated to advancing the field of climate and communication, ensuring a long-term and sustainable influence in the field.

In addition to fostering academic growth, we feel that this conference will also serve as a platform for highlighting regional climate issues that may otherwise would have remained underrepresented in global communication discourse. By bringing these issues to the forefront, this conference can prove to collectively devise innovative solutions and strategies, thereby making a tangible impact in the region. Through the collaboration between global and local scholarly communities this conference can be a milestone in tackling the disproportionate impact of global warming on the global south. This cross-cultural dialogue will be instrumental in broadening our understanding and appreciation of the complexities of global climate communication. And this will in turn undoubtedly enrich our collective understanding of climate and communication in its various forms and contexts. We are confident that Pakistani academia, with its rich cultural diverse societal diverse fabric and academic heritage, will offer perspectives that can greatly contribute to the objectives of the conference. We look forward to the rich discourse, and meaningful dialogues and connections that this event will undoubtedly foster.
