May Solidarity Encounter May 25, 2:00- 3:15 PM EDT
Ecological Crisis: False Solutions & Climate Justice Frameworks
Click here to register Speakers: Nnimmo Bassey – Health of Mother Earth Foundation (Nigeria)
Gopal Dayaneni – Antioch University
Sara Mersha – Grassroots International Description:
In this Solidarity Encounter, we will explore the false solutions to the ecological crisis that corporations have proposed in order to profiteer off of the ecological crisis they have created – such as blue carbon and other so called "nature-based solutions," geo-engineering, and carbon capture. As an alternative to these false solutions, we will share a climate justice framework that social movements promote and that Grassroots International seeks to uplift, which offers real solutions rooted in connection to and respect for Mother Earth, Indigenous rights, food sovereignty, just transition, protection of biological and cultural diversity, and energy democracy.
