The 2023 Holberg Symposium: ’World movements for environmental justice’
On Tuesday, 6 June, the 2023 Holberg Symposium will take place at the University Aula in Bergen, Norway. The event is open to the public.
The making of movements for environmental justice, their social protagonists and forms of mobilization - explained by the growth of social metabolism.
Research on environmental justice rests not only on the empirical observation of so many similar grievances and complaints around the world at the frontiers of commodity extraction and waste disposal but also on a critique of the incapacity of economic accounting to include the damages to the environment. The participants in “ecological distribution conflicts” display a variety of valuation languages (ecological, sacredness, livelihood, economic values), which are not commensurate.
The symposium is held in honour of the 2023 Holberg Prize Laureate Jean Martinez-Alier. There will be an introduction of the topic by the 2023 Holberg Prize Laureate, followed by presentations by three invited guests and a panel discussion.
Speakers:
Joan Martinez-Alier, professor emeritus, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona; 2023 Holberg Laureate.
