WAYS OF REPAIR : LOSS AND DAMAGE | SYMPOSIUM SESSION #3 | Farhana Sultana – Decolonizing Climate Knowledge: Repairing Epistemic Injustice and Loss in the Era of Climate Change

In this session, of the Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage Symposium, interdisciplinary scholar, speaker, and author Farhana Sultana presented the text “Decolonizing Climate Knowledge: Repairing Epistemic Injustice and Loss in the Era of Climate Change”, which draws on insights from various Global South and Indigenous scholars and argues for the urgent need to decolonize the institutions that govern climate science and policy. Highlighting the significant, yet often overlooked epistemic injustice of as a form of climate injustice, she calls for a fundamental rethinking of how climate knowledge is created, shared, and used, centering the voices and expertise of those who have been most affected by climate change but least empowered to shape its trajectory.
