Here are some of the key not panels you can join at the start of each time zone cycle:
Panel: Just Recovery for All
“The pandemic has exposed the deep inequities of our existing economic system and opened a pathway to leave these injustices behind. We need to come together and push for a world that puts people before profit. Now it’s the time to turn the corner away from harmful practices that destroy our climate and the living world around us.”
With Hakima Abbas, Naomi Klein, Amitav Ghosh, Dominique Palmer
Panel: How to Postpone the End of the World?
“We are going through a major crisis and its deepest roots are related to our continuous war against nature. This disconnection with nature has caused damage to the planet and ourselves. We need radical changes in our way of being in the world.”
With Vandana Shiva, Ailton Krenak, Tasneem Essop & Adriana Calderón
Panel: Grounding Ourselves: Science Updates & Our Mental Health
“How do we cope with the most up-to-date data from climate scientists without getting trapped by anxiety-related responses and mental health disorders? Sharing ways to process this information and remain steady to keep on fighting.”
With Luisa Neubauer, Ko Barrett, Renee Lertzman, George Marshall
All our panels for the Global Just Recovery Gathering offer interpretation in Bahasa Indonesia, Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Português, Türkçe, 日本語, and closed captioning in English.
Do we have what it takes to postpone the end of the world? Join renowned indigenous writer & movement leader, Ailton Krenak at the Global #JustRecovery Gathering from April 9-11 for 3 days of collective creativity, re-building and hope ☀️
