Reimagining Climate Action across the Caribbean and Diaspora
This panel session will serve as a platform for sharing diverse forms of knowledge and for raising fundamental questions about resilience and justice in the context of climate change and increasing social inequality. This event will bring together scholars, activists, artists, and others interested in Caribbean, diaspora, and climate change issues. Conversations will focus on the imperative that climate action should not only acknowledge past and current disadvantages but actively address them.
