Description
Around the world, the environmental crisis is deepening. Rising global temperatures are fuelling socioecological threats and damage with distinctly uneven geographical consequences. Whilst rapid and drastic reductions in carbon emissions are critical to preventing climate breakdown, our institutional, societal and individual responses have to-date fallen short of what is needed. In the context of this urgency, how we respond now will profoundly reshape the geographies of our lives and will continue to do so far into the future. As geographers we have a crucial role to play not only in analysing and anticipating these changes but also in advocating, as researchers, collaborators, teachers and citizens, for more sustainable futures.Here our speakers - all leading thinkers in environmental geography and currently shaping agenda-setting themes in Geo: Geography and Environment - address the place of geography in advancing and advocating for more sustainable, lower carbon and fairer socio-ecological places and futures. They will reflect on their own experiences and research interests and in doing so address questions and debates that speak directly to the vision of Geo as a space for new, critical, and underrepresented ideas in pursuit of fresh viewpoints and solutions to the world's most pressing environmental problems.
