Ruth Nyambura – … feminist movements for climate justice

The world continues to witness a historic convergence of multiple and intersecting crises, finance, energy, food and climate, to name just a few. The mainstream Capitalist solutions being proposed by transnational corporations, Global North governments, as well as multi-lateral institutions such as the United Nations (UN), firmly centre the aspirations of the global elite while those who sit at the intersections of these structural inequalities continue to be treated as disposable.
But resistance is always fertile! There is growing global movement of feminists, queer and trans collectives, union workers, informal traders, Indigenous Peoples, peasant farmers, fisherfolk, to name just a few, who not only work to destroy the systems of oppression but are also collectively work to re-define a transnational and cross-movement politics of solidarity for our times.
Nyambura’s presentation will engage with the long histories and possibilities of co-creating transnational eco-justice-feminist movements that centre the politics and praxis of anti-capitalism and decolonization.
