UPon – feminist practices for climate justice

Interviews with international urban practitioners

UPON feminist practices for climate justice focuses on (eco)feminist practices that enable the necessary and fair transformation of communities towards climate justice. Which strategies can we learn from initiatives taking action for the protection of urban ecosystems, regenerative community practices and gender-orientated resistance?

How can we develop social conducts that repel extractivist models in favour of caring patterns based on interspecific maintenance and interdependency?
