UPCOMING EVENTS
Over the next century we will face several climate crises that might force millions of people to leave their homes. During this second event in the series, we will examine the intersections between climate justice and migration. Many in the Global North enjoy the benefits of extraction economies that exacerbate ocean acidification, rising sea levels and drought. While these changes affect people around the world, many in the Global South bear the brunt of the climate crisis. Environmental justice theory and activism seek to address these uneven distributions of the benefits and burdens of environmental harm. Climate justice and mobility justice attempt to correct the injustices caused by the climate crisis. As globalised environmental and climate injustices force people to move, legal scholars debate the ethics of exclusionary immigration policies in the European Union and the United States of America. With Lena Knappers, Bram van Ooijen, Mark Akkerman and Mimi Sheller (online).
Tuesday 05 November, 19:00 - 21:00. Tickets for this separate event costs 17,50 euro and include a simple dinner. Doors open and dinner served at 18:00. Get your tickets here
