How Can We Connect Anti-War and Environmental Struggles ? · BG Conference · October 16-18, 2025
How should we address the increase in armed aggression and the mounting, disastrous consequences of the climate crisis? How can we tackle these issues at the structural level and across national borders? How can an emancipatory politics center on the struggles of the impoverished, dispossessed, and exploited – that is, those who are most affected by militarism and environmental disasters, yet often neglected by peace and climate movements?
