About this Event
This event marks the publication of a groundbreaking book, Bearing Witness: The Human Rights Case Against Fracking and Climate Change, edited by Tom Kerns and Kathleen Dean Moore.
Drawing on recent rulings from an international human rights court, the book argues that climate change, and the extreme extraction techniques that fuel it, directly violate rights guaranteed by international law. Further, governments are in deep collusion with oil and gas companies, abdicating their responsibilities to protect the rights of their citizens.
During the online book launch, the co-editors will be joined by special guests including eyewitnesses and legal experts.
