Despite all the warnings, the exploitation and destruction of our planet and the squandering of resources is advancing unchecked with tragic consequences for communities within and without the European field of vision. Overflows, forest fires and catastrophic floods are some of the major indicators of the breakdown of a resource-hungry world. At the Environment and Resources Round Table Discussion, members of Indigenous groups from Brazil, the US, Colombia and Tanzania open our eyes to the long-hidden consequences of Western trade. During the talk, the worldwide contexts become visible and give an insight into the realities of life and resilience outside of the headlines.
