When climate change intersects crime: “Deforestation – from fashion to food to furniture”
The loss of forests is one of the main contributors to climate change. The drivers behind this loss are a complex mix of harmful consumption that crisscrosses the globe. This presentation outlines the causes and consequences of deforestation as well as the actors and forces behind it. Grounded in green criminology combined with other critical criminologies, the case is made for a move to regeneration rather than sustainability and adopting Earth Jurisprudence as a legal guiding framework.
