Abstract
The aim of this international conference and workshop is twofold: firstly, to explore the relationship between violence and environment across time and space; and secondly, to explore the human rights implications of the co-existence of diverse temporalities and how this could impact access to climate justice in terms of ‘toxic exposure’. To this end, by adopting the notion of slow violence, the Conference will unpack visible and less invisible human rights violations to build a new understanding of resistance. By zooming in on case studies, the Conference provides an opportunity to identify the tangible impacts of slow violence. The case studies will be turned into a distinctive process to map new trajectories for political developments and legal responses by adopting a long-term and bottom-up approach.
