Introduction - Emergencies, wellbeing and social justice in the Anthropocene ENGLISH

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 session introduces the IGDC/YESI webinar 'Emergencies, wellbeing and social justice in the Anthropocene' and is chaired by Piran White from the University of York.
