Exporting Extinction: Research Launch - Tues May 7
New research from Centre for Climate Justice, the Climate + Community Project, and Third World Network shows that our current political & economic systems, built primarily around extraction, are driving compounding crises: inequity, climate change, & biodiversity loss. For decades, world leaders & policymakers have known these crises are escalating but have done little to prevent it. Why? This research answers that question, finding that governments are pressured by an unequal international financial system. With two upcoming chances to redirect international policies toward solving ecological crises, now is the time to talk problem-solving. Tune in to hear about this leading research and find out what you can do to seize opportunities for change. Online Tuesday 7 May at 9 a.m. PDT/12 p.m. EDT
