Development and Growing Insecurity in an Era of Overlapping Crises
The world is facing unprecedented crises including environmental disasters on every continent, global food insecurity, wars and conflicts, and a series of escalations in armed conflict and elsewhere, all happening in tandem with human rights violations and social injustices. The session with the keynote speaker will anchor this year's CASID conference entitled “Development and Insecurity in an Era of Overlapping Crises” with a discussion on the concept of poly-crises, their origins and underlying causes, and strategies for tackling injustices in a divided world. In conversation with the keynote speaker, Dr Hamza Hamouchene, we seek to take the discussion across disciplines, and address the challenges faced today that have affected both people and planet, and discuss a sustainable way to address them. The session will critically assess both the past and ways to move forward into what is an uncertain future, emphasizing praxis.
