Mainstream climate politics suffers from the under-representation of working class, Indigenous and Global South voices, and remains disproportionately influenced by middle and upper middle-class individuals from the Global North, often with advanced professional credentials and/or formal work experience. But why is it that certain forms of environmental knowledge are held in higher regard than others? And how can this be reconciled so that all forms of knowledge are valued equally? In other words, how can decision-making processes (such as policy making) be democratised?
Join us for a workshop that will explore these issues in greater depth. Hosted by the Working Class Climate Alliance, this interactive and creative session will include a mixture of foundational knowledge and practical skills training to support more collaborative, inclusive approaches to decision-making.
