Transformative, structural and systemic change is needed to address the climate crisis which is exacerbating social injustices, economic inequities, and health disparities in communities around the world. During this time of growing instability and human suffering, this lecture proposes that we collectively reimagine the role of higher education in advancing climate and economic justice and promoting societal transformation toward a more just, healthy, and stable future. A commitment to both climate justice and economic justice provides a helpful framework for colleges and universities to leverage their unique position in society and align their many initiatives and programs to contribute to transformative change for the common good.

Location: 27 University Square/01/003 School of HAPP, 25 University Square Belfast BT7 1NN
