Understanding Conflict to Enact Change: Climate Clashes, Climate Governance, Climate Justice
Dates: October 17-19, 2024
Location: University of Oregon
Event organizers: Aneesh Aneesh, Yvonne Braun, Matthias Vogel
Event summary: Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, its effects transgressing the borders of cultural, social, political and economic realities while starkly illuminating the interdependencies of our human societies across space and place. Addressing the sources and impacts of climate change will require unprecedented levels of cooperation and conflict management across local, regional, and global levels, such as inter-governmental efforts for common actions to mitigate the global impacts of climate change under future climate change scenarios. Climate change also demands individual, collective, institutional and systemic reflections on our consumption patterns and living practices and our responsibilities to each other, to ecosystems and diverse species, and future generations.
This conference will center interdisciplinary, multidimensional, and multi-scalar explorations into understanding climate change and the conflicts it both reflects and constitutes, with an emphasis on leveraging our understanding towards enacting change. Throughout the conference panelists will discuss themes such as Glocal.
