We know term is hectic with exams around the corner and supervisions scheduled at any waking hour - please do drop in as and when you can.
Roundtable 1: Decolonising Climate Mitigation – Equity in Low-Carbon Transitions

Roundtable 2: Climate Adaptation Beyond Resilience – Local Knowledge & Sovereignty
Saturday 10th May 2025
09:30 – 11:00
Roundtable 1: The Library, The Union (CB2 1UB)
Roundtable 2: The Chamber, The Union (CB2 1UB)
Both of these events are running simultaneously. You may join either of your choosing.
Our event liaisons will be there to guide you in.

(Note: one ticket per event – select all the events you would like to attend.)
What’s the point of our roundtables?
We want to bring together students and Global South scholars, Indigenous leaders, or policymakers to critically examine climate adaptation beyond resilience and equitable mitigation.
We have students, who applied in advance, sharing their thoughts alongside our fantastic guest moderators, and we welcome you all to join us as audience members.
There will of course be time for an audience Q&A as part of both events.

How can knowledge systems from the Global South contribute to reshaping global mitigation narratives?
Panel 2 further info
Moderator: Iokine Rodriguez Fernandez
Guiding questions:
How do traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous governance contribute to effective adaptation strategies?
