In this webinar we will draw on the thinking and experiences of activists from around the world to explore the question: what is the relationship between militarism and the climate crisis, and how can our movements better reflect this?
As the climate crisis continues to impact communities around the world, billions of dollars are pumped into armies and militarised institutions. The systems and structures that have driven and profited from the climate crisis rely on violence and militarism to extract resources and protect their interests. At the same time, militaries are drawing on increasingly dystopian framings of a climate-changed world to justify their existence. How are we to make sense of these complex, challenging times?
Confirmed speakers:
- Camila Rodríguez, Colombia
- Mitzi Jonelle Tan, Philipinnes
- Anuradha M Chenoy, India
- Nico Edwards, Sweden
Together we will make a case for an interweaving of concerns and struggles, of understanding climate justice through an antimilitarist lens, and recognise that calls for climate justice and antimilitarist resistance are part of the same push for a fairer, more generous, nonviolent future.
