Fighting for the Planet We Choose: Science, Advocacy, and Liberatory Futures

In this lecture, Professor Timnit Kefela (Department of Environmental Science and Resource Management at CSU Channel Islands) will share her experience at the UN Environment Programme headquarters in Geneva. She will present her insights into how scientific evidence is translated into global environmental policies. She will discuss how different UN delegations have clashed over environmental policymaking and how these conflicts have affected marginalized communities. Learn how Dr. Kefela’s research and advocacy aim to design liberatory and community-driven solutions for waste management and pollution. A Q&A will follow Dr. Kefela’s lecture.
