This session will build an understanding of how climate justice and racial justice intersect, and assess the barriers to climate engagement.
The effects of the climate crisis are vastly unequal and unevenly felt across different places and communities. We cannot achieve climate justice without dismantling the global model of extractivism that exploits racialised and marginalised communities.
Join Voice4Change England for the first workshop of their series Where Climate Meets Race, a 3-year project supported by Esmée Fairbairn. This session will look to build and sharpen our collective understanding of how climate justice and racial justice intersect, and assess the barriers that hinder wider engagement in the climate movement.
This workshop will cover:
- How racism, injustice, and inequity are embedded in the climate crisis
- What it means to decolonise climate
- How we continue to broaden and politicise the conversation on climate
- Successful climate campaigns that have centred climate and race
Register here by 2nd September at 8pm.
