#GSWF2021 The Rise of Disaster Capitalism: Climate change, COVID-19 and the Green New Deal

#GSWF2021 The Rise of Disaster Capitalism: Climate change, COVID-19 and the Green New Deal

This episode unpacks “The Rise of Disaster Capitalism: Climate change, COVID-19 and the Green New Deal”. The current gap in discourse between affected communities on the ground, governments, and multilateral organisations on the impacts of extreme weather events requires that national communities are visible in regional and international political and climate spaces and that their narratives are shared and voices are heard. Marginalised communities are systematically excluded from these spaces, so it is vital to promote their participation in creating, developing, implementing, and monitoring policy responses to and plans on climate change and disaster relief that support their needs. Most of these policy pronouncements do not yet directly address the issues through an inclusive and intersectional approach. Ensuring the inclusion and engagement of women, youth, and others representing marginalised communities in the conversations concerning climate policies and programs, as well as post-COVID recovery measures, is critical for protecting their rights, livelihoods, and critical ecosystems, and biological diversity.
This episode is from the 2021 Global South Women’s Forum on Sustainable Development hosted by International Women’s Rights Action Watch Asia Pacific, a feminist organisation committed to the full realisation of women’s human rights through the pursuit of equality.

#GSFW2021 Strengthening social inclusion in policy and financing processes to secure feminist and just climate transition

In this episode, the panel explores methods of “Strengthening social inclusion in policy and financing processes to secure feminist and just climate transition”. The climate crisis severely threatens vulnerable communities’ livelihoods, access to food, water, and shelter. It exacerbates existing inequalities caused by differences in gender, socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity and age, and undermines development. Despite this, these communities, which also have the fewest resources to adapt or mitigate its effects, have drawn from their lived experiences to take countless inventive steps to slow it and address its impacts. Yet, they are often not involved in policy and decision-making. The global decision-making process needs to shift to more inclusivity and centre the voices, knowledge, and skills of communities, particularly women in the Global South, and leverage on their locally shaped climate solutions for inclusive and just climate transition.

#GSWF2021 Women Hold Up The Sky-African women rise for climate justice

This is the second of eight episodes of Sustain267 Podcast, we share with you conversations that included Africans from the 2021 Global South Women’s Forum on Sustainable Development hosted by International Women’s Rights Action Watch Asia Pacific, a feminist organisation committed to the full realisation of women’s human rights through the pursuit of equality.

In this episode, WoMin African Alliance screened their award-winning film, Women Hold up the Sky. Through the eyes and experiences of women impacted by coal, oil, and mega-infrastructure projects in South Africa, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Women Hold Up the Sky explores stories of resistance and communities in the active struggle to take back control of their land, their rights, their bodies, and their lives. The screening was followed by a reflection on the film’s themes as well as the process of making the film, and building analytical linkages, connections, and solidarities with other communities and movements engaged in the same struggles for climate justice across Africa and around the world.

Salomé Elolo, Femmes Solidaires (FESO), Democratic Republic of Congo

#SameStormDifferentBoats; Telling the African climate crisis story

In this Africa Day 2021 episode of Sustain267 podcast we bring the “SameStormDifferentBoats; Telling the African climate crisis story” conversation, hosted by the Wangari Maathai Foundation in commemoration of the late Wangari Maathai’s birthday. Youth climate activism has continued to raise the consciousness of the urgency with which public and political action on the climate crisis is required. The continent of Africa bears the brunt of the impact of the climate crisis and young Africans are at the frontline of climate action, however, they are not seen on the front page (and sometimes even deleted from the front page), nor are their voices heard during the debates on climate change. What will it take to get their voices to the table? What do they offer to the conversations? and what are they optimistic about? The WMF Chairperson, Wanjira Mathai, hosted this conversation with Greta Thunberg, Elizabeth Wathuti a young climate activist from Kenya, Vanessa Nakate a young climate activist from Uganda, Olumide Idowu a climate activist from Nigeria and Professor Youba Sokona, a climate scientist from Africa.
