Hi everyone,

I want to bring this to your attention in case you're not aware. Each year, Access Now hosts RightsCon – the world's leading summit on human rights in the digital age.

RightsCon 2020 will be hosted in Costa Rica from 9-12 June, and they have invited me to join the programme committee as the co-chair of the Environmental Sustainability and Human Resilience track. 

Given our climate crisis, the lack of consideration to sustainability within the ICT ecosystem, and the impact that mineral mining, e-waste dumping, irresponsible production and consumption, and a host of other related issues have a significant impact on both the environment and human rights, it's imperative that we ensure this topic is on the agenda and colesque around it as a community. 

If you or anyone you know is interested in submitting a session, proposals can be submitted via this online form until 14 January 2020. In case you have any questions, you can check out the submission guide or contact me directly. 

Please share this call with anyone you think may be interested. 

Best,
-Michael Oghia
