Educating for Climate Justice: the Third Generation Project
The Third Generation Project is an international think tank based in Scotland that uses education and research to enable social change for climate justice. Their mission is to put the people most impacted by climate change at the heart of a progressive education agenda.
This lecture will look at how education on climate justice - with communities at its centre at different levels - allows academic study and policymaking to be grounded in a collective response to generations of colonial, social, economic, environmental, and racial injustices and in a transition out of systems that perpetuate cycles of inequality and inequity.
