Topics will include: Ecofeminism, anti-racist ecologies, gender and climate change, Buen Vivir, Pacto Ecosocial del Sud; constitutional rights of nature; indigenous territories, planes de vida, post-development, and the impacts of International programs such as REDD+, IPCC, and Sustainable Development Goals.
