Deliberative democracy in tackling climate justice? (Požega)
Join us in Požega for the Terrestrial Forum/Horizons of Change Summer School where GEF will host a session on the possibilities and pitfalls of deliberative democracy in tackling climate justice!
About the event
During this lecture and discussion, we will try to define some advantages and ambiguities of Deliberative Democracy when confronted with other participatory practices based on self-mobilisation, as a leverage to discuss about “hybrid” practices and how they must be related to the pre-existing struggles in a territory, and to the next-steps of decision making. A series of filed-of-contested-actions will emerge, for opening space to the working groups for imagining solutions that can better relate mini-publics to maxi-publics, and lay-and-expert knowledge. Leading questions will be formulated about what can we intend as justice (included epistemic justice), how can we tackle the asymmetries of information, and avoiding to consider territories as a neutral ground on which a debate on a specific issues (for example: those related to energy) has to start from scratch.
