Sessão deliberativa facilitada por José Luis Monteiro da Oikos.

Procurou-se, através de alguns exercícios práticos e da discussão entre os estudantes, garantir uma plena integração dos vários fatores conducentes a maiores ou menores níveis de Justiça ambiental no mundo, tendo como pano de fundo, alguns desequilíbrios gritantes na produção e consumo, em particular a produção/consumo de bananas.
Tratou-se, portanto, de uma sessão participativa onde os estudantes assumiram diferentes papeis da cadeia de produção e comercialização.

Introduction  COP 26, NDCs and NZPs :

Part 1. Dilemmas for Multi-Sector Governance

Part 3. Climate Justice


The 26th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is planned to take place in Glasgow, UK between 1 & 12 Nov 2021, will be a critical event for reaching the global commitment to limit global temperatures rise to below 2 ⁰C,  a colossal test for governance, multi-sector coordination, and individual citizen engagement, COP 26 should provide for nations to lay out their national strategies to achieve net zero GHG emissions in two stages:

  • In 2030 the UN will commit to its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to lead to a permanent human and ecological right to productive harmony with the Earth. 

  • Every country will (should) declare its updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) that leads to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

  • The relationships between science and politics in creating the barriers to achieving sustainability science.

  • The role of sustainability science in higher education and its purpose in this PhD course and in your research.

  • Implications for your research when incorporating sustainability science into your work.
