Climate change and biodiversity loss are framed increasingly as ‘crises’ or ‘emergencies’. Yet action on them seems far from urgent. Drawing on the knowledge and experience from Brazil and the UK, this workshop will explore the implications of ‘emergency’ framing for addressing these planetary challenges, and ask to what extent this framing is helpful in promoting sustainability and social justice.
This first session in the IGDC/YESI webinar 'Emergencies, wellbeing and social justice in the Anthropocene' looks at Epistemological perspectives.
Chair: Piran White - University of York
Panelists:
The culture of emergency and crisis (Sarah Bezan - University of York)
Emergency and crisis in public health (Pete Coventry - University of York)
Emergency and crisis in environmental science and ecology (Mariana Vale - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro)
Economics and emergencies (Paul Hudson - University of York)
