While Justice Everywhere takes a short break over the summer, we recall some of the highlights from our 2023-24 season.

Here are a few highlights from this year’s posts on issues relating to nature, the environment, and animals:
- In an important intervention, guest author Griffin Kiegiel argues that we need to pay to an underappreciated aspect of conscious AI: it’s massive environmental impacts.
- Matthew Perry discussed the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness, and highlighted ways in which we can build on it.
- A recent agreement between Australia and Tuvalu, aimed at helping Tuvalu deal with the ravages of climate change, has been cautiously hailed as progress. However, Virginia De Biasio argues that it actually perpetuates climate injustice.
- Angie Pepper discussed the Grand National and the extent to which we share responsibility for harm befalling horses.
- In another incisive post, Peter Dietsch argues that modern debates about climate justice and debates about social justice should be integrated.
- Finally, 5 years after Extinction Rebellion was formally launched outside the UK Parliament, Costanza Porro asked, ‘What is next for the environmental movement in the UK?‘
