Green Futures Seminar Series

In this talk, Vasna Ramasar will offer a decolonial and feminist perspective on green transitions, opening up the space to consider that we need a just transition. Exploring ecologically unequal exchange and climate debt through case studies in South Africa and Congo, the lecture will explore how communities are resisting unjust transitions and opening up space for homegrown alternatives to development.
