Panel 1: Corporations and Colonialism

Dr Olivia Lwabukuna, Dr Krishnee Adnarain Appadoo, Dr Felix Dube

The international conference has kicked off with a powerful first panel on Corporations and Colonialism, led by Dr Olivia Lwabukuna.

The panelists not only described how ecocide is happening in Myanmar, Mauritius, Jamaica and across Africa, but also highlighted that ecocide is rarely an accident but an ongoing system reflective of colonialism.

We were honoured that Baroness Rosie Boycott opened the conference with a keynote speech.
