ESG Speaker Series this Thursday - Alternative Actions? Earth System Governance and Climate Activism

[Thungren, G.O. (Gustav)]

Dear All,

 

On behalf of the Earth System Governance Project, I  invite you to join the May edition of the Earth System Governance Project Speaker Series, titled ‘Alternative Actions? Climate Activism and Earth System Governance.’

 

Global sustainability and earth system governance have more often than not centered on the formal processes of environmental governance development, from negotiations to policy programmes and their implementation. While constituting the obvious building blocks of the environmental architecture, these negotiations and outcomes can be shaped by non-state actors and processes ranging from information provision to protests and strikes. Environmental activism is dynamic, often changing in scale and tactics to respond to changes in global governance, or anger at the state of the world. This dynamism may require nuancing and reconsidering our theories of how NGOs and movements shape global governance.

 

In this ESG Speaker Series webinar, three experts on climate activism examine what is unique about recent waves of mobilization, as well as questions of engagement with vs. opposition to formal global sustainability governance institutions. We take climate change as a case study while opening the discussion to other horizons. The event is moderated by Amandine Orsini of University Saint-Louis – Bruxelles, with speakers Jennifer Allan of Cardiff University and Joost de Moor of Leiden University.

 

Date:     20^th May 2021

Time:     10:00-11:00 (CEST)

 

Registration is required – please see our website for a complete event description and to register.
