The state of eco-social justice campaigning in East Asia and the Americas
Speakers: China Ngubane and Patrick Bond
Date: Tuesday, 18 June 2013
Time: 12:30-14:00
Venue: CCS Seminar Room, 602, 6th Floor, MTB Tower, Howard College
Topic:
The Japanese 'TICAD' - Tokyo International Conference on African Development - was held in early June, replete with promises of $32 billion in new aid. A civil society counter-summit there came amidst other opportunities to assess Asian progressive solidarity, in Korea and Hong Kong. In all three countries, the openness to a Durban activist's perspective was heartwarming, and will ensure further progress in 'brics-from-below' connectivities between BRICS countries, hinterlands, and critical eco-social-justice campaigners. Meanwhile in New York City and Quito, Ecuador, two major conferences this week offered strategies for fusing economic and environmental justice campaigning.
Speakers:
China Ngubane coordinates the CCS Brutus Community Scholar programme and has been involved in anti-xenophobia and immigrant solidarity work in Durban for many years. He spent May 29-June 10 in Japan, Korea and China (Hong Kong), at civil society events. Patrick Bond, CCS Director, was a speaker at the Left Forum and the International Seminar on Civilisational Crisis, Ecosocialism and Buen Vivir.
