The aim of this session, which is part of the 10th National Meeting for Climate Justice, is to promote intersectional reflections and shared learnings between participants from different territories, histories and struggles.

This roundtable will be a hybrid space, with the participation of racialised people, migrants and representatives of the Global South, to create bridges between diverse knowledges (community, activist or academic) and promote a decolonial approach in the fight for climate justice.

We will address issues such as environmental racism and the importance of recognising the contributions and experiences of historically marginalised communities in tackling the climate crisis, with an emphasis on experiences and knowledges from the Global South.

To embody the dialogue, we will invite the participants to experience the “cartography of the feet” exercise, a participatory methodology that proposes a reflection on their paths of learning and collective construction. Through this exercise, we will explore emotions, experiences and stories that connect the past, present and future in climate struggles. The aim is to value knowledges that come “from the heart” and to build a collective map of practises and visions that inspire future actions.
