Description: Over the last few years, there have been many discussions about the Green New Deal (GND), including responses and alternative formulations such as the decolonial, feminist and internationalist GNDs. This session was an interactive dialogue between the panel and participants on questions around whether the GND discussions resonate and connect to the Global South: do GND discussions address the colonial North-South dynamics and inequalities, and to what extent? What does a Global South feminist decolonial and reparations proposal look like? How should feminists in the Global South position themselves in relation to the Green New Deal conversations, both at home and internationally?
