Climate change and the challenges of development: how can we respond to this systemic crisis?

Climate change and the challenges of development: how can we respond to this systemic crisis?

On Wednesday 24 June, from 3-5pm LUCI ATTALA (UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES / University of Wales Trinity Saint David), will be delivering the last talk in a series of talks hosted by Oxford Department for International Development, University of Oxford.

Luci will introduce the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES (Bridging Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Futures) as well as the Educere Alliance, two complementary international initiatives that work at transforming how knowledge informs governance, sustainability and global policy.

BRIDGES operates within UNESCO's Management of Social Transformations (MOST) programme and seeks to strengthen equitable dialogue between diverse knowledge systems, including Indigenous, local, scientific, artistic and humanities-based forms of expertise, in public decision-making. At a time of climate instability, institutional fragility and deepening epistemic inequality, BRIDGES advances new approaches to knowledge governance grounded in reciprocity, plurality and structural inclusion.

The Educere Alliance extends this work through applied collaboration. It is a global community of educators, scholars and project leaders seeking to innovate in education through a focus on resilience, skilled practices and good living. Educere gathers projects that include traditional, craft, vernacular, Indigenous and alternative bio-centric methods and offer a platform for emerging pedagogies to shine.
Together our hope is to inspire meaningful paradigm shifts by enabling a fertile wealth of ideas and methods to congregate, collaborate and cross-pollinate into unique, inclusive expressions.
