Race and Climate Justice: Our interconnected struggles. What are the conversations/ voices/ solutions we’re not hearing?

About this Event

The Climate Crisis is often portrayed as a single or local issue with little or no focus on communities most affected by climate crisis. We seek to put those ignored views at the forefront of the climate conversation.

This collective conversation aims to:

highlight the interconnectedness of climate to social justice and to universal oppressions rooted in colonialism.

move climate conversations towards solidarity with other strands and oppressions such as migration, the arms trade, the hostile environment policy, anti-racism, international investment and more.

readjust the balance of dealing with and addressing climate destruction.

move away from seeking and relying only on Eurocentric solutions to the crisis.

Until we understand our interconnectedness and address the crisis equitably and holistically, we continue to replicate oppressions of the poor, Black, Brown, migrant, Global South, disenfranchised and marginalised.
