Teach Climate Network Workshop: Decolonizing Climate: Reimagining Environmental Justice and Confronting Imperial Legacies in the Middle East
Wednesday, January 17th, 5pm CT
Often when we imagine climate change, we picture the ice caps melting, the oceans rising, and the warming winters in the Midwest. In this workshop, we drive you to reimagine climate change through a decolonial framework. According to the World Bank, the Middle East is the most impacted region in the world by climate change impacts and natural disasters. In this workshop, you will discover how imperialism in the region through structures such as the U.S. Military Industrial Complex has directly caused environmental devastation and human displacement in the region. By the end, you will also discover how you can take action to help address environmental justice in the Middle East region within and beyond the classroom.
