CLIMATE VIOLENCE, HISTORY AND RESISTANCE

Exploring a Bigger Picture

Presentation by Kooj Chuhan

• What is the framework in which we are led to understand climate change by our major institutions, businesses, policy makers and writers?

• critique of Western ways of seeing climate change
• diaspora interest in climate change
• impact on migration from the South
