Episode 2.5: Global Ecopolitics After COVID-19: Social Movements and International ENGOs

Image
There's no denying COVID-19 has had a major impact on the climate movement. After non-governmental organizations worked so hard to access global climate decision-making, being without the ability to organize protests and the like has left the movement disconnected from the major decision-makers again. But it's an important year for climate decisions. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jen Allan, Lecturer in the School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University to get a better sense of how NGOs are navigating COVID, and the potential opportunities that may arise for climate decisions post-COVID.

Guest Bio

Jen Allen

Jen researches environmental and social movements, and how global rules are made and remade. Her recent book, The New Climate Activism, explores how and why social movements came to campaign on climate change. Her works spans a wide range of environmental issues, including climate change, biodiversity, plastics and chemical and wastes management. She received her PhD from the University of British Columbia in May 2017.

Jen is also a Strategic Adviser for the Earth Negotiations Bulletin – the de facto record of global environmental negotiations. She's attended dozens of UN conferences where states negotiate the rules of global climate governance, as well as chemicals and wastes management. She has published over 100 Bulletins with her ENB colleagues.
