Climate contestation: mobilisations, intersections, possibilities

ASSA Social Sciences Week 2024
UTS Annual Andrew Jakubowicz Lecture

With advancing climate change, there are new convergences, both against climate action and for it. What intersectional alignments emerge? How does this shift politics, locally and transnationally? What barriers and possibilities are created? 

This Social Science Week Roundtable reflects on the state of play as society responds to climate disruption.
