Join us in Glasgow on 7 May! 🌊

Day 1 of the One Hundred and Sixty Sixth Regular Session of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Barbados kicked off at the Sagicor Cave Hill School Of Business and Management at 7:30 a.m. (for Delegations) and 9:00 a.m. (for the Public). It was both a rich, while disappointing experience when all is considered (https://lnkd.in/dnNHgAJP), and to sum it up, never have I been seized with both hope and despair at the same time! Yet, I enjoyed the company of One Ocean Hub Director and Incoming U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in the Context of Climate Change, Professor Elisa Morgera, two former students and rock stars in their own right Zachary Phillips and Rico J. Yearwood, and my colleague NICOLE FOSTER (nee CLARKE). Nicole and I also attended the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Court and the The University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus. Oh what a [long] day! Join us either in person or virtually, for an important and innovative week of activities (https://lnkd.in/enhv2ZXd)!

The event 'From the coast to the ocean depths: Co-developing innovative solutions for sustainable development' brings together researchers from law, social sciences, and engineering to share knowledge acquired through research and engagement activities in the context of environmental sustainability, other sustainable development goals (gender, education, health), and ocean-climate nexus. The speakers will share their innovative and collaborative inter- and transdisciplinary research experiences and best practices from collaborations with non-academic partners in the Global South as well as within the UK. The speakers cover areas such as: 🔸 human rights-based and arts-based participatory research approaches; gender, environmental and social justice and blue economy; 🔸 fair research partnerships for transformative environmental governance; 🔸 public and environmental health, coastal hazards, protection and resilience; 🔸 global health, inter-disciplinary research, and ethics in global health. Speakers: Professor Elisa Morgera (University of Strathclyde) Early-career researcher David Wilson (University of Strathclyde) Early-career researcher Lysa Wini-Simeon (University of Strathclyde) Professor Tracy Morse (University of Strathclyde) Dr Bahareh K. Kamranzad (University of Strathclyde) Early-career researcher Elsemi Olwage (University of Namibia) Professor Jeremy Lauer (University of Strathclyde) 🔎 Attendees will learn about inter- and transdisciplinary research methods and approaches from Strathclyde’s leading experts who have worked in the Global South (i.e. #Ghana, #Namibia, #SouthAfrica, #LatinAmerica) on how to co-develop research and impact in collaboration with local and Indigenous communities and traditional knowledge-holders.

Next week, the Inter American Court of Human Rights, will begin the first of two in-person Hearings the Request For An Advisory Opinion on the Climate Emergency & Human Rights submitted by the Republic Of Colombia and the Republic Of Chile at the Sagicor Cave Hill School Of Business and Management at The University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus, Barbados! The Request is of tremendous importance for Caribbean large ocean, small island developing states (SIDS). However, a key flaw in the Inter-American Human Rights System is the division between English-language member states and states with Latin-based languages, the so-called “Anglo-Latin Divide” (Carozza, 2015). While this division finds its roots in linguistic differences, differences in legal traditions and also geopolitics, I will posit that given the wicked and pervasive nature of the climate conundrum, Caribbean States have as much to benefit, as contribute to the jurisprudence of the Inter American Court in the Region's jurisprudence. In my Presentation, I will consider the role of academic institutions such as The University of the West Indies, and how this can be complemented by actions of the Inter American system. Join me today, Friday, April 19, 2024, as I kickstart The Faculty of Law, UWI, Cave Hill Campus' activities coinciding with the Court's Hearings in Barbados, by sharing some reflections on the importance of the Inter-American Court for the Caribbean Region, at a Panel SIDH co-sponsored event aimed at highlighting the upcoming election of judges to the Court. You can log in using the link https://lnkd.in/eSF_vUs2. Look out for other Faculty of Law events in relation to the Court's Hearings: ranging from high-level meetings, public events, our submission to the Inter-American Court, and a post-Hearing reflection as part of the Faculty of Law's Workshop Series, co-hosted by the The Faculty of Law, UWI, Cave Hill Campus and the One Ocean Hub. #ClimateJustice #InterAmericanCourtOfHumanRights #AdvisoryOpinions #LatinAmericanAndTheCaribbean #TheCaribbean #SmallIslandDevelopingStates #OceanClimateNexus #ClimateScience #OceanScience #InternationalEnvironmentalHumanRightsAndEnergyLawyer #PartneringAcrossCountries #PartneringAcrossRegions #PartneringAcrossInstitutions #PartneringAcrossTheWorld #Advocacy #Networking #Collaborations #FacultyOfLaw #TheUWICaveHill #EnvironmentalLawOceanGovernanceClimateJusticeUnit #DavidsAndGoliaths #PresentAndFutureDirections #ForwardToRestoration #YOLO #YODO #LivingFiercely #NeverGiveUp #Phoenix 💙 🐠 🌊 💚 🦚🌳

💡 Calling for climate passionate children and young people to become part of a Young Advisory Team! The initiative is led by researchers at University College Cork in Ireland. 🌍 The Youth Climate Justice project (funded by the European Research Council) involves research on children's climate/environmental leadership; examining how it is transforming human rights through cases, UN action, government lobbying, community activities and so on. The research focuses on case studies in Ireland, Nepal, Canada and #SouthAfrica, and therefore the researchers especially welcome applications from children and young people living in these countries.

“When addressing global environmental crises, it's crucial to acknowledge the profound wisdom of Indigenous communities” says Hub early-career researcher Lysa Wini-Simeon (University of Strathclyde, UK) who took part in the session entitled ‘Coastal resilience in the climate crisis: Supporting solutions for small island developing states’ at the ‘Our Ocean Conference’ in Athens this week. Hub colleague Julia Nakamura (University of Strathclyde, UK) was also speaking at the conference. Lysa Wini’s research focuses on the complexities of #maritime colonial history and its intricate influence on #customarylaw within the #SolomonIslands. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eb6-Fa2q Lysa continues: “Indigenous peoples have thrived in biodiverse regions for centuries, developing intricate knowledge and sustainable practices to nurture and safeguard their homelands. To truly tackle climate challenges, we must not only recognize but also uplift these indigenous solutions. Their time-tested methods should be integrated into innovative climate financing initiatives. In the Solomon Islands, for instance, the ‘Financing Adaptation through Enhanced Intactness (FATEI)’ platform exemplifies this approach, honouring indigenous landowners and empowering them to apply their wisdom. By valuing and supporting indigenous knowledge, we ensure their ongoing participation in shaping national and global adaptation strategies.” Last week Lysa spoke at the session entitled ‘How can a Healthy Ocean Improve Human Health & Enhance Wellbeing on a Rapidly Changing Planet? Ocean Panel Blu Paper Launch’ at the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona where she made a point about communities at Solomon Islands being part of the ocean in a profound way: “You are part of the system: the organisms, the water, the beach and the sand…Now the communities are starting to be disconnected from the sea because of the policies and national plans that do not recognise this way of life…” Watch a short video clip from the session here: https://lnkd.in/efPaCncU

💬 “The largest oversight and gap in ocean governance is how to include spiritual and cultural heritages in decision-making and marine spatial planning,” says Hub researcher Dylan McGarry, co-founder of Empatheatre. 🎭 As part of the One Ocean Hub’s Satellite event, ‘Presenting the Transdisciplinary Toolbox for Transformative Ocean Governance’, Empatheatre brought to the room ancestors in a form of digital story-telling. Empatheatre co-founder and performer Mpume Mthombeni took the stage whilst five-minute film ‘Indlela Yokuphila: The Soul’s Journey” played on the background. https://lnkd.in/eXqMXgYZ 🎞 The film, that took five years to create, explores an aspect of intangible ocean heritage and involved the participation of Indigenous knowledge holders from South Africa. The film aims to make intangible ocean heritages more tangible in governance and education through animation and public dialogue, and return the sacred to our conversations around ocean wellbeing. Watch the film here: https://lnkd.in/ertTfCYF 🌍 The animation has been connected with ongoing international debates on the environmental, as well as cultural and spiritual concerns, about deep-seabed mining and their human rights implications, as also recently underscored by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
