Indigenous Resistance to Colonialism, Militarism, and Climate Crisis
Colonial violence - and the militarized legacies that persist today - are at the root of global inequality, ecological devastation, and perpetual conflict that is driving the triple planetary crisis. Despite the increasing threat that climate change poses to all life on earth, the US government alone aims to spend nearly $1 trillion this year on the Pentagon budget. This panel, co-hosted by 350.org and the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies, will discuss the relationship between colonialism, militarism, and climate crisis. We will hear how ongoing militarization in the Middle East, the Pacific, and on the African continent intersect, how Indigenous communities resisting colonial exploitation are the frontline against the climate crisis, and why environmental justice is key to our collective security.
