Introduction to Climate Justice Workshop

August 26, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join Our Future Now and Global Justice Rebellion for this Zoom call where we learn about climate justice in an interactive workshop.
*Zoom link will be sent out to those who have registered on the eventbrite link 
‘Climate justice’ has become a buzzword in the climate movement. But what does it really mean?
In this workshop we will be exploring this question while looking at why the climate movement must take into account how our economic system created and perpetuates climate change. We will understand why those who are least responsible for climate change are suffering the gravest consequences.

But we will also look at how people are fighting back by demanding social and economic justice and how we can all stand together to fight for climate justice for everyone.

The coronavirus has put a strain on healthcare and food systems. The pandemic has shown us that in moments of real crisis, we can marshal extraordinary resources to solve problems facing society. It has also shown that if we aren’t careful, the costs of fighting a crisis may fall on the least prepared or responsible, whilst the wealthy get bailouts. When this crisis subsides, we will still have another to deal with – the climate crisis. We need climate justice now more than ever.

Accessibility is very important to us. If you have any accessibility needs please don’t hesitate to get in touch by messaging the Global Justice Rebellion facebook page.
