A panel discussion of interdependence, eco-emotions and ecological loss through a Global Majority and youth climate justice lens.
In the wake of the COP26 climate summit and on the eve of Lost Species Day 2021, join ecofeminist Jennifer Uchendu, climate anxiety teacher Sarah Jaquette Ray, youth activist Elouise Mayall and interdisciplinary artist Beverly Naidus for an exploration of interdependence, eco-emotions and ecological loss through a Global Majority and youth climate justice lens.
