We are delighted to launch the Global Inequalities and the Climate Crisis curriculum resources. This innovative resource package for key stage 3 was developed in partnership with OU Geography Project and academics Parvati Raghuram of the Open University, Melis Cin of Lancaster University and Manu Lekunze of Aberdeen University. The resource pack uses testimonies from Cameroonian people to construct a Cameroon country case study. Our Global Inequalities and the Climate Crisis curriculum resources respond to the APPG for Africa Education Report (2022) by developing a detailed country case study, drawing on lived experiences of African citizens and situating Cameroon in a global context. View the resources here: the-ga.org/GICC

Being adjacent to this project and hearing about its work over the years has been incredibly influential in shaping my thinking around what it takes to actually do #decolonial work. If you can make the time, do attend this event! @GeographyOU @OU_GCSJ

Replying to @timfarron
@timfarron I’ll be talking about my PhD research into criminalising acts of ecocide at an event in Parliament (PH) next Wednesday. šŸ¤ž Hopefully I’ll get to speak to MPs who voted (in favour or against) & find out why Labour abstained. @OpenUniversity @OU_Law @GeographyOU

On the day that it was revealed that 10 million litres of sewage had been dumped into Windermere, Conservative MPs still chose to vote against my proposal to criminalise these acts of pollution. Liberal Democrats will continue to stand up for tough action on sewage dumping.
