Day 2. 4 Question Time Style Session : How to influence Systemic Changes
Summary
The climate crisis is a result of wider systemic injustice, and any genuine solutions must be centred on justice and equity. Government plans for a ‘Green Recovery’ or initiatives to ‘Build Back Better’ must therefore be scrutinised to ensure they do not simply promote ‘business as usual’. In this session, you will deepen your understanding of what a fair Green Recovery looks like through an internationalist lens; how to challenge systemic racism to widen access to green spaces and diversify the landscape profession. Mya Rose, Back2Nature will talk about organising her first nature camp for Visible Minority Ethnic teenagers, starting her campaigning to make the conservation and environmental sectors ethnically diverse and engaged VME people.
