It will elaborate on how uneven development manifests as a threat to survival through political and economic vectors, requiring us to reconsider the role of national liberation and planning in the achievement of genuine anti-systemic climate justice.Max Ajl is at the Department of Conflict and Development Studies, University of Ghent, and an associated researcher at the Observatory of Food Sovereignty and the Environment, Tunis.
