Essential thoughts on the social organisation of vulnerability and the climate crisis in the Caribbean, using the differential experiences of residents in the British Virgin Islands by @Leon_Ayo #GAConf21

Whose lives matter? asks @Leon_Ayo as he outlines the lack of resources being provided for Caribbean communities in responding to climate breakdown #GAConf21

Brilliant from @Leon_Ayo “Responses to climate breakdown too often rest on an ignorance of how colonialism and imperialism have led to a racist world ... the governance of climate change is predominantly depoliticised and ahistorical” #GAConf21

Work by Satnam Virdee and @Gargi_at_home cited by @Leon_Ayo as being essential to understanding differential vulnerabilities in the climate crisis produced by racial capitalism #GAConf21

“To understand the climate crisis, we need to understand histories of empire”. Yes! @Leon_Ayo #GAConf21

Climate crisis too often thought in terms of emissions, the immediate cause, rather than the social and structural causes, argues @Leon_Ayo #GAConf21

Now @Leon_Ayo draws on work by @kestontnt to highlight flaws in aid and responses to climate breakdown in Haiti #GAConf21

“I don’t want to live in a world where the electronic border fences are powered by renewable energy” says @Leon_Ayo as he argues against building extractivism and exploitation into our responses to climate breakdown #GAConf21
