Ilwad Elman: War, Climate, and Power: Decolonizing Crisis

War, Climate, and Power: Decolonizing Crisis - Keynote

Crises are not only events, they are systems shaped by power: who controls resources, who defines security, who owns critical technologies, and who dominates information. This session unpacks the nexus of war, climate, and power through a decolonial lens, examining how colonial legacies continue to shape vulnerability and conflict dynamics. Moving from diagnosis to action, we will focus on simple, practical ways to put power back in people’s hands and protect communities and ecosystems
