Global Justice Webinar Series

The goal of our collaboration proposal is

To bring together relevant decision-makers and practitioners from politics, civil service, international organizations, and civil society to share and reflect on the exponential change needed for the wellbeing of all people and the planet to supercharge and accelerate solutions for sustainable development.    

This webinar series, promoted by the Jesuit Justice and Ecology Network-Africa (JENA), Yale University Global Justice Program and Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP), is in line with Pope Francis’ ambitious exercise in promoting dialogue for priorities and solutions, for ‘recovering better’ from this crisis and preparing the future and imagining a more just post-COVID-19 world. Find more information via JENA’s website.

The next sessions will be:

  • October, 19th: Climate and Environmental Justice
  • October, 26th: Peace and Security in Africa: The Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons

Description of our collaboration proposal

Pope Francis believes that the human person is not immune to crises but is always impacted by them. There is a need for all of us to respond to the reality we are living and prepare the future, which means to acknowledge that things look grim, but since nothing is permanent, it’s worth looking for economic models that will help humanity out of the current crisis — not by going back to a world of inequalities, but by creating a fairer world.

The central aim of the webinars is to mobilize a thorough understanding of how injustice survives toward designing and implementing a targeted reform program to ensure that it does not.

The panelists will be:

October, 19th:

  • Nana Ama Browne Klutse, University of Ghana
  • Oluyede Ajayi, Lead Specialist – Agriculture and Climate Change- CTA
  • Emmanuel Nyadzi, Wageningen University, Netherlands
  • Camillus Kassala, Senior Research Fellow at Eastern Africa Statistical Training Centre, Tanzania

 

October, 26th:

  • Fernando Saldivar, S.J. Jesuit Conference of Africa and Madagascar.
  • Arsene Brice Bado, S.J, Centre for Research and Action for Peace (CERAP), Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
  • Elias Omondi. Hekima Institute for Peace and International Relations, Nairobi, Kenya.
  • Teresa Wamuyu Wachira, IVBM, Pax Christi, Nairobi, Kenya
