"Sustainability" or Survival? Popular Responses to Global Climate Change:
A 5-part video dialogue series with international ad local leaders of NGOs highlighting effective mobilization efforts to protect themselves from the effects of global warming and to promote climate justice. The series will identify how climate change and environmental problems disproportionately affect already-vulnerable communities, the limitations of government, UN-based, "free-market," or technological attempts to address climate change, and the resulting rise of popular movements that promote more sustainable futures and all forms of climate and environmental justice.
Presenters:
Jaqueline Patterson, Environmental and Climate Justice Director, NAACP
&
Ahmina Maxey, Community Outreach Coordinator, Zero Waste Detroit
Refreshments will be served.
