We are delighted to welcome back to St Hilda’s our alumnus, Rupert Stuart-Smith (Geography, 2016) to give the keynote speech at our 2022 Green Feast Seminar. His talk will focus on the importance of scientific evidence in climate litigation.

Rupert’s keynote will be preceded by presentations by two of our current MCR members:
Marisol Luna Aguero, who is reading for the MSc in Water Science, Policy and Management, will speak on ‘Understanding the role of stakeholders’ values for future allocation planning in the Colorado River Delta’
Jalileh Garcia, MSc candidate in Nature, Society, and Environmental Governance, will speak on ‘Understanding Extractive Mining in Honduras and its Implications on Local Communities’.

This in-person seminar promises to give us important impulses to thinking about environmental challenges in relation to policy and policy failures in different local contexts as well as how concepts of justice and processes of litigation can be mobilised in response to questions of sustainability, climate change, and community preservation.
