Addressing Historical Injustices from Indigenous Perspectives for New Eco-Social Contracts—Keynote Speech by Tarcila Rivera, 14:00 CET
This keynote session will feature Tarcila Rivera, founder of the International Indigenous Women’s Forum, on historical injustices and the need for a new eco-social contract. Tarcila Rivera has been interviewed beforehand, and the video portrays her perspectives as an Indigenous woman on topics such as inequity and poverty; climate and gender justice; main historical injustices; and Indigenous visions for new eco-social contracts.
The keynote video also includes a brief presentation of the global research and action network and short video interventions from different organizations on why they decided to join the network.
Live Panel facilitated by UNRISD at the Global Online Summit Co-Building a New Eco-Social World: Leaving No One Behind, 14:30 CEST
New eco-social contracts are emerging through the commitments and actions of different actors and movements that are addressing current crises and intersectional inequalities. Acknowledging that inequalities are rooted in historical injustices, particularly for Indigenous Peoples, minorities and vulnerable social groups, is a first step to assemble, pursue and consolidate new visions of a new world for everyone, leaving no one behind.
With the purpose of building solidarity between different actors and movements, UNRISD and GEC have launched a new global research and action network for an eco-social contract in November 2021. The network brings together research, practice, advocacy and policy decision-making communities working for social, climate and environmental justice in a progressive knowledge and action alliance.
The mission of the network is to broaden understanding around the idea of new eco-social contract; define its terms, including a just transition to climate resilient, green and fair economies; and identify the actions required of stakeholders at multiple levels to ensure its implementation entails climate and environmental justice, racial justice, respect for human rights, decent work, gender equality, intergenerational justice, the rights of the natural world, and biological and cultural diversity.
This live panel seeks to mobilize research and action into the rethinking of new integrated policies which address not only the current climate crisis but also the historical injustices and structural drivers that have perpetuated horizontal and vertical inequalities across the globe.
