Colonialism and the Climate Crisis
Last year, Greenpeace and the Runnymede Trust published Confronting Justice, a report on the links between Britain’s colonial history and today’s climate crisis.
As educators we need to explore how our colonial history has impacted and continues to affect and perpetuate the climate emergency. From environmental racism and the impact of air pollution on poorer communities to fast fashion and supply chains.
This three hour training will support and deepen educator understanding of the climate crisis in the context of our colonial history. Educators will also have access to activities, resources and a platform that provides updated links and videos for continued learning.
