The second instalment of “Reframing Climate Justice” delves into the historical and systemic roots of the climate crisis. The conversation centres on the issue of racial capitalism – where social and economic value is tied to race – and its profound impact on how racialised communities experience environmental degradation. The speakers Nary Götze, organiser with Black Earth Kollektiv and ecology student in Berlin exploring non-western approaches to ecosystem stewardship, and Mama D. Ujuaje, co-founder of Community Centred Knowledge in the UK, explored the relationship between climate, race and racialisation, and the historical legacy of colonial systems, and how this has shaped the landscape (both literal and discursive) we find ourselves in while seeking climate justice.
