Environmentalism in the Context of Colonial Legacies: How Can We Ensure Justice in the Face of Environmental Crises?

A session moderated by Jade Lindgaard.

Ecological catastrophes, climate change, environmental disasters: the environmental issue is global. Yet the responsibilities and consequences are not. Between the countries that have built their prosperity on the exploitation of resources and those that are now suffering the effects of climate change, colonial legacies still weigh heavily on environmental action.

How can we rethink environmental justice to better address these historical inequalities and redress them? Is it possible to decolonize ecology so that it can finally become universal?
