Sometimes, the truth is best explored indirectly, or through the infinite lens of the imagination. In lands of make-believe, we can confront fears; take risks; and explore the past, present and possible futures. Sometimes, the edges of fact and fiction blur, and the stories we conjure begin to come true. This session on climate fiction explores the prophetic nature of this growing genre of literature and how we can use it to prepare for environmental changes that might or might not come to be.

Food should be a human right. A right to food protects the fundamental liberty for all individuals to feed themselves with dignity. The right to food should be supported in ways that allow all individuals to have the means and freedom to access food that is quantitatively and qualitatively adequate to meet the individual’s dietary needs and correspond to the cultural traditions of the people that the individual belongs to. This session will explore food sovereignty and designing a just food system.
