Panel: Climate Activism in a rapidly changing age of Environmental Catastrophe
The urgent need for action on climate change has brought together a diverse range of voices and perspectives in the global movement for climate justice. In keeping with this and the theme of Sustainable Week, Extinction Rebellion Maastricht will host a panel discussion on climate activism featuring experts from different fields. With a historian, they will explore the historical perspective of social movements in Europe and how they have influenced the fight against climate change. With a philosopher, they will delve into the routes to achieving social justice and what that looks like in the context of sustainable development. Lastly, there will be a criminal rights lawyer with experience in working on social injustice related issues in the region and affiliations with NGOs like Amnesty International. This panelist will bring valuable insights to our debate on the newest wave of climate activism and the use of more disruptive action to gain awareness and demand change. Additionally, we will discuss protest rights and their implications for climate activism. Join XR for a stimulating discussion on climate activism and its intersection with history, philosophy, and law.
