The International Talks always take place during the semester. Always online. Always discussion format. Always socially relevant, international topics. The format includes an impulse with discussion, in which the participants can take part via chat. The talks get a special dynamic through the moderation of different experts. The International Talks are open to all students, colleagues and interested persons, especially including international students.
The intersectionality of environmental stewardship and social justice: challenges for civil society organisations in the Global South
Thursday, 04th of May, 2023, 5pm
Environmental issues and challenges are increasingly affecting the most marginalised and vulnerable communities in the Global South, who often have limited access to resources, information, and decision-making processes. This has led to a growing recognition of the need to address the intersectionality of environmental stewardship and social justice and to promote more equitable and sustainable approaches to development. This topic is timely and relevant and will contribute to a better understanding the complex challenges and opportunities for civil society organisations and youth to promote environmental stewardship and social justice.
