Wed 21.2. at 17:30: Workshop on climate, economic justice and migration (organized together with Debt for Climate Finland)
Is your other country suffering from an inflation crisis? Are you worried about drought, rising food and fuel prices? Do you want to discuss economic justice, climate justice and migration? Come to Debt for Climate workshop where we can discuss about the question how the economic crisis and the ecocrisis, migration and the decline of living conditions in the Global South are interlinked.
In this workshop we will discuss the financial institutions that maintain the economic domination of the Global North, the World Bank and the World Monetary Fund, which keep the countries of the Global South in a debt trap. And how colonial oppression, the many crisis and people’s need to find places to live well are interlinked.
The ecological debt of the Global North to the Global South is much greater than the economic debt of the Global South to the North. The Global South is not poor, it is immensely rich. The Global South is so rich that it can produce $2.2 trillion worth of goods, resources and labour for the Global North every year. In other words, the so-called “development” of the Global North is based on the pumping of labour, metal, food – resources – from the countries of the Global South. With the unfair debts of the World Bank and the World Monetary Fund, the Global North maintains the domination of the Global South by the multinational oil and metal companies.
The workshop will be held by activists from Debt for Climate Movement. The Movement is Global South led and it demands global economic and environmental justice and that the Global North cancels all economic debts of the Global South and thus begins to repay the huge ecological debt!
Language: the workshop will be in English, questions and clarifications can be discussed in other languages if necessary, small group discussions can be divided into small groups by language.
Wed 28.2. at 17:30: Aiski Ryökäs and Annastiina Kallius speaking about Hungary and activism for asylum seekers
