Experiences from the Ministry of Environment and Energy in Costa Rica and the Transformative Pathways to Sustainability Network in the UK:

The search for environmental justice and sustainable futures demands the ability to engage with and mobilizing diverse interests across traditional cultural and political boundaries. In this seminar, we’ll hear inspirational experiences from two countries with significant differences in geography, culture, and economy: Costa Rica and the UK.

The discussion starts with Costa Rica’s experience. Costa Rica, a tiny Central American nation is one of the most biodiverse country on earth and is undoubtedly a world leader in taking actions against climate change and fighting biodiversity loss. The country is aiming for total decarbonisation by 2050, not just a “net zero” target.

This event is organized by the Centre for Global Science and Epistemic Justice. GSEJ is dedicated to exploring the inter-relations between epistemic justice and the sciences (including the natural sciences, computing and engineering) and their impact on individual life opportunities as well as our global future. It brings together research expertise in sociology, law, cultural studies, philosophy, history, anthropology, religious study, education, bioscience and computer sciences to promote inclusive and socially just knowledge production, legitimisation, and application in the global age.
