Miriam Gay Antaki(1)

 

We welcome Miriam Gay-Antaki, Geographer, University of New Mexico. While the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the most important international meeting surrounding climate change, it can perpetuate or contest socio-environmental narratives responsible for social and environmental inequalities. This program will examine the intersections of power in climate change policy, focusing on how power relations shape policy outcomes at the COPs. Dr. Gay-Antaki will reveal how long-standing power dynamics hinder international collaboration and effective climate action despite efforts to increase participation from underrepresented groups including: women, indigenous peoples, and the global South. This program will advocate for an approach that centers the experiences and voices of those directly affected by climate change to cultivate social and environmental justice.

A reception for this event will take place from 5 – 6pm. Join us and meet other community members interested in the world.
