Climate Change or System Change Webinar

with Camila Moreno & Helena Norberg-Hodge

Following on Local Futures’ action paper, ‘Climate Change or System Change?‘, climate researcher and activist, Camila Moreno, and Local Futures’ Director, Helena Norberg-Hodge, had a frank talk about climate change. Read the action paper here.

The Climate Agreement, signed in 2016 in Paris, has been hailed as “historic,” yet the root causes of climate change were neither discussed as part of the negotiations, nor addressed in the agreement. This is an opportunity to get debriefed about what really took place in Paris and to explore where we go from here. We discussed common myths in the climate debate, expose pseudo-solutions and pinpoint key strategies to achieve lasting change.

Issues that were discussed included:

• Blaming individuals while ignoring industrial polluters
• “Free trade” treaties as the driving force behind climate change
• Commercial truths behind the climate negotiations
• Carbon trading and zero-net emissions myths
• Global to local steps to climate and planetary health
and more…
