  1. How are #ageing #populations, changing #family structures, and #inequalities reshaping #intergenerational support?

    In June, we welcomed more than 40 delegates from the UK, Europe, and beyond to the University of St Andrews for the CPC-CG Symposium on Intergenerational Change and Support, where they explored these issues over two days of presentations and discussions.

    Ich wollte euch hier mal was spannendes zeigen, das wir gestern in einem Uni-Seminar hatten. Ich kannte das vorher nicht und fand es total interessant:
    Ein #Atlas, um die #globalen #Kämpfe um #Umwelt- und #Klimagerechtigkeit zu mappen.

    In the #EJAtlas, an environmental conflict case refers to the contentious mobilizations of civil society actors in which explicit social-environmental claims are made against a specific project or economic activity that is pursued by state, corporate, and, sometimes, also illicit actors (e.g., illegal loggers).

    These #conflicts usually arise from structural #inequalities of income and power. Dimensions of #environmentaljustice include distribution of the burdens of pollution and access to environmental resources, the right to participate in decision-making and the recognition of alternate world-views and understanding of development. The action repertoires may include formal claim-making, petitions, meetings, demonstrations, boycotts, strikes, legal actions, civil disobedience, collective violence, international campaigns and other action forms. In the act of claiming redistributions, these conflicts are often part of, or lead to larger gender, class, caste and ethnic struggles.
