Preferred Futures: Climate and Environmental Justice Across Borders

Bringing together scholars, frontline leaders, legal experts, scientists, policymakers, and cultural practitioners, the conference explores how preferred futures—futures grounded in equity, dignity, and ecological integrity—can be actively shaped across local, transborder, and international contexts. Building on critical scholarship and lived experience, discussions will examine the historical and political-economic forces that have produced environmental harm and inequality, while centering pathways for repair, protection, and transformation emerging from Indigenous peoples and frontline communities.
