Climate contestation: mobilisations, intersections, possibilities
Friday 13 September 12noon-130pm
Online event, free registration: here
With advancing climate change there are new convergences, both against climate action and for it. What intersectional alignments emerge? How does this shift politics, local and transnational? What barriers and possibilities are created? This Social Science Week Roundtable reflects on the state-of-play as society responds to climate disruption.
