- Following on from our keynote from @marylawlorhrds.bsky.social, our first panel of the day: Defending environmental human rights at home and abroad. We'll hear from speakers from @frontlinedefenders.bsky.social, @dundee.ac.uk, Save Our Sperrins and @dublincityuni.bsky.social #DCUClimate2025Apr 29, 2025 09:36
- Dr Rowan Oberman opens with a question for the panel: How can we protect the human rights of environmental defenders? #DCUClimate2025
- Sarah de Roure, @frontlinedefenders.bsky.social, highlights the risks that climate defenders face - but also, importantly, their agency: "They often know the best” strategies for protecting themselves - “they know the local context” #DCUClimate2025
- Building on Sarah de Roure's response, Fidelma O'Kane from Save our Sperrins notes the importance of building international links.Through these links, Fidelma says, we can learn from others' local contexts #DCUClimate2025
