Culture, Trust, and Systems: Local and Democratic Politics for the Anthropocene

This Sydney Environment Institute and Sydney Ideas event examined a variety of ways of rethinking local politics for more sustainable and democratic ends. Speakers addressed the potential of coalitions forming to prevent the increased enclosure of public lands, grassroots efforts to create new food systems, and new forms of cultural intervention and shifts – value-guided ecological democracy. The goal was to put innovative thinkers and actors into a conversation to examine the role of the local in living practices of ecological democracy. For more information about this event click here.
