Is ecology a rich man's fight?

Trials of the Century - season 4

 

Moderator: Paloma Moritz

With Sanaa Saitouli, co-founder of Banlieues Climat and Axelle Cuny, PACA Action contre la Faim coordinator.

With the participation of Julia Ferloni, heritage curator in charge of the Crafts, Trade and Industry section at Mucem.

Even today, many people from the working classes feel excluded from environmentalist discourse, even though they are the first victims of the effects of climate change and the extinction of biodiversity. Yet they are struggling to cope with air pollution, insalubrity, heatwaves, fuel poverty, lack of green spaces, junk food…

This is a fact that has been completely forgotten in public debate for years. How can residents of working-class neighborhoods unite around ecological and climate issues, and make their voices and projects heard? How can we reinvent a “social and popular ecology”? How can ecology create meaning and solidarity in working-class neighborhoods?

    Paloma Moritz is a journalist and film-maker. She worked for four years for the independent media Spicee, for which she developed an editorial line based on impact and solutions journalism. She produced a dozen reports and documentaries. Her favorite themes: the overhaul of our democracy, gender inequality and the ecological emergency.

    Today, she runs the Ecology section of the independent media outlet Blast, and every week she produces short videos, reports and interviews with personalities and scientists to help people better understand current events, political discourse and ecological issues. How can we adapt? How can we act? How can we reduce our emissions? How can we invent another, more sustainable and fairer society?
