This is the future we don’t want: increased militarisation of state, attack on human rights for the sake of “security”, techno-fixes that further monopolise power structures and environmental racism. In the panel we will discuss, among others: What are the military planning in a time of climate change? How does it dovetail with corporate long-term plans? Can we stop and change these trends? What are the best strategies of resistance and mobilisation? Why is sustainable and equitable use of natural resources important for peace-building? How is exploitation of resources used as a weapon of war, domination and environmental racism? How can we better bridge and unite the environment and peace movements and why is this important?
