Planetary-scale phenomena can threaten human (and more-than-human) livability. Responding to ongoing changes in the ecological environment requires thinking across disciplinary and legal boundaries, re-evaluating relationships between humans and more-than-human actants within ecosystems, and taking seriously the tensions between local experiences and planetary systems as well as between short-term cycles and long-term horizons.
The one-day event held during New York Climate Week, will interrogate how planetary thinking can reorient laws, knowledge-making practices, and financing arrangements towards just interventions for our collective ability to sustain and improve common life.
This event is co-organized by NYU School of Law, The Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services Network (BES-Net) Consortium, Soka Gakkai International, SwedBio, and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and supported by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Secretariat.
