Session details

Scotland and global sustainable development: time for a new way forward?

Six years on from the launch of the Scottish government’s International development Strategy, is it time for a rethink? The global pandemic has highlighted inequalities that are largely the result of the historical legacies of colonial rule, industrial exploitation and continued injustice. In this context what does it mean for Scotland to be a good global citizen?

Climate justice: tackling past and future structural injustices

How is Scotland’s pledge for loss and damage finance being delivered in practice; what more could Scotland do to encourage other nations to step up and follow this commitment; and in what other ways can we show leadership to acknowledge, amend and show solidarity with those most affected by the climate crisis?  

The transformative power of Global Citizenship Education: unlocking the potential in Scotland

This session will provide an exploration of critical Global Citizenship Education and what this learning looks like in diverse contexts and places. Our panel of speakers will share their perspectives and experiences as we consider the value of these approaches to building global solidarity.
