Back to School with… Lena Knappers & Bram van Ooijen

The Independent School for the City organises a series of three evening lectures about climate change, environmental justice and migration, taking place on Tuesday 8 October, 5 November and 3 December.

The first evening will focus on the impact of climate change on the world, the second on global climate borders and environmental justice and the third on will deal with strategies for climate-induced displacement and Migration. The series is curated by Lena Knappers & Bram van Ooijen.

Doors open and dinner served at 18:00.

Climate change increasingly is a reason for displacement and migration. The United Nations International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has cited estimates of as many as 25 million to 1 billion climate migrants in the next 30 years, while other projections point to 1.4 billion by 2060.
It is therefore important to investigate more just alternatives for the way we are dealing with climate change, migration and the organisation of space today. This lecture series examines the impact of climate change on the liveability of our world and the potentialities of space. Where is climate-induced displacement and migration already happening today? Which areas will be most affected by global warming? Where can people move to and how can new places for living be built?

Tickets for the separate events are 17,50 euro and include a simple dinner. An entrance package for all three evenings is available for 45 euro.
