Join us for a panel discussion on the environmental devastation in Palestine and South Lebanon, focusing on how settler colonialism exacerbates climate change. Our panel will examine the destructive impact of militarism on ecosystems and communities, covering deforestation, water contamination and biodiversity loss. Expert speakers will highlight the urgent need for sustainable solutions and justice, providing an actionable roadmap. This is a global issue; what happens to nature anywhere affects us everywhere. Learn from well-rounded experts and local activists, and engage in meaningful conversations about mobilising to preserve our planet for a healthy and equitable future. In the second part of this programme we will discuss how to include these narratives in the Dutch climate movement, reflect on its silence so far and explore ways to move forward.

Programme seriesJustice for Palestine

The Justice for Palestine series will focus upon the broader historic- and present-day context of colonisation, apartheid and military occupation that preceded the horrific October 7th attacks and the relentless bombardments of the Gaza strip that followed. By starting these dialogues, we aim to focus on envisioning sustainable solutions for justice, equality and peace in Historic Palestine for all people who are living there.
