The climate crisis has been increasingly approached by powerful global actors as both a national and international security threat, rather than a matter of ecological security. At the October member meeting, Dafne Yeltekin and Zainab Kolki will share their research on the Military Industrial Complex and its relationship to climate change. They’ll call out false solutions behind the climate security approach and point to intersecting ways forward for climate justice, highlighting the work of social movements and centering alternative systemic approaches rooted in decolonization, abolition, and ecological security.
