How can we confront climate-related injustices while we also strengthen our communities and build resilient and participatory local projects to create a better world?  That is a central question for the many international contributors to the new book, Climate Justice and Community Renewal.

In this second circle of a 5-part series, authors of three of the chapters will explore those questions and more.  We will learn about the pillars and principles of Indigenous Just Transition and why they are critically important right now, discuss Indigenous resistance to climate change mitigation programs, such as REDD+, that threaten Indigenous livelihoods around the world, and the struggles of Indigenous and other local communities to protect rivers, health, and their ways of life fighting to halt megadam projects such as the Muskrat Falls dam project in Labrador, Canada.

Date & time: Thursday, 25 June, 1 pm Eastern US time (note earlier starting time than the first session)

Host:  Tamra Gilbertson, co-editor of Climate Justice & Community Renewal, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN

Presenters: 

Tom Goldtooth, Executive Director, Indigenous Environmental Network, Turtle Island

Alexis Lathem, Northeast Megadam Alliance, US

Winnie Overbeek, Director, World Rainforest Movement, Uruguay
