Event Overview
As climate change accelerates, we see the rise of violent conflict and humanitarian emergencies in some places but not others. We also see disruptions in food security and forced migration in some places but not others. And around the world, debates rage about access to energy, the need to profit from valuable natural resources, and pressures to reduce extraction and consumption.
This year’s Lund Critical Debate from the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies explores how citizens and policy makers worldwide can act to increase justice in our shared climate crisis.
Join climate journalist Kate Aronoff and climate security expert Joshua Busby from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas for a conversation on our climate’s state of emergency and how governments can help.
