Please mark your calendars, join us, and encourage others to attend who might be interested. Kind regards. C. -- *Public Lecture Series (online)* Dear Colleagues, The Economy & Culture; Geographies of Life; Politics, State and Space; and the Urban Worlds Research Clusters form the Geography Department at Durham University are hosting the first talk in our two-part series *Life Under Overshoot: Assessing the Spatial and Political Implications of a 1.5°C World* on Friday, February 26th, at 5:00 pm (GMT). Please mark your calendars, join us, and encourage others to attend who might be interested. *The social and environmental justice aspects of a 1.5°C word: Lessons from the decolonial thought and the Latin-American experience.* *Invited Speaker*: Dr. Iokiñe Rodriguez <https://people.uea.ac.uk/i_rodriguez-fernandez> (University of East Anglia). *Friday, 26th February 2021, at 17:00 (to 18:30) (GMT).* Please register at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/series-life-under-overshoot-living-in-a-15c-… *Description:* The session seeks to offer an insight into an environmental justice perspective emerging from the Global South: the decolonial environmental justice approach. Latin-American environmental justice movements have developed notions of justice alongside decolonial thought, offering insights that seek to understand how the persistence of colonial values (coloniality) sustains injustices, violence, and dispossessions. The session seeks to engage with the following questions: - What can socio-environmental conflicts in Latin America tell us about the necessary transformations from an emancipatory perspective that seeks to build greater social and environmental justice and reduce violence? - What are the roots form the Latin-American decolonial justice and what can we learn from the experience and practice of some of these groups in the politics of 1.5°C? - What does the reconfiguration of politics and space of warming overshooting mean for climate/environmental justice in different geographies/places? - How are calls to address the ‘urgency' for emission reductions coming from different groups across the political spectrum shaping the emerging politics of life under the warming condition?
