FOCUS ON THE GLOBAL SOUTH-PHILIPPINES
Subject: “A Dialogue on Climate Justice – A Lecture-Forum”
Dear Friends and Networks: :
Greetings of Peace! “Ondoy” and “Pepeng” are not “once-in-a-lifetime” events. More super typhoons, floods and sea level rise are expected to ravage the country and nations all over the world. The issue , impact and consequences of climate change need to be understood by all. Is climate change the culprit?
In partnership with Focus on the Global-South Philippines, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the lecture-forum entitled “A Dialogue on Climate Justice” on November 26, 8:30 AM at AVR2, University of Cebu, Banilad, Cebu City. The resource speaker, Mr. Larry Lohman, is a well-known expert, activist, and researcher on climate issues. He works with Corner House, a UK-based research and advocacy organization. His books include Pulping the South: Industrial Tree Plantations in the Global Paper Economy (with Ricardo Carrere) (Zed, 1996) and the edited volume Carbon Trading: A Critical Conversation on Climate Change, Privatization and Power (Dag Hammarskjold Foundation, 2006). He is also a founding member of the Durban Group for Climate Justice and his articles have appeared in journals such as Accounting, Organizations and Society; Asian Survey; Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars; Development; International Journal of Environment and Pollution; New Scientist; Race & Class and Science as Culture. He is expected to touch on the following:
- To peg the introduction to the natural disaster the world is experiencing (particularly timely for the Philippines), or other concrete experiences
- To give a brief and clear discussion of what really is the issue/problem about climate
- A discussion of how countries/governments respond to these issues/problems – mitigation, adaptation, and touch on the many false/market-based solutions being peddled, and short assessment of them
- What ought to be done, or what are the alternatives, how to respond to the climate problem through climate justice, and how to develop green economies
- Then an update of what’s happening – the climate talks, among others.
