Event Details

Join us for this event about climate and social justice activism.

Much of the global economy is based on exploiting cheap labour and the environment, benefitting the wealthy and corporations while perpetuating poverty in the global south. This systemic injustice is also evident in the way the climate crisis has been caused by the rich world and effects those in the global south worst. Our speakers will discuss the origins of this neo-colonial system, the rules which prop it up and how we can collectively change it!

We will hear from:

📣 Dorothy Guerrero, head of policy at Global Justice Now

📣 Mohammed Elnaiem, Decolonial Centre

📣 Liz Murray, Global Justice Now Scotland and Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

If you are interested in Global Justice Youth, you can join our local Edinburgh group! We meet regularly and always welcome new people. Please get in touch with [email protected] if you would like to get involved.
