Join us for an insightful discussion on the political economy behind climate-change-driven disasters, focusing on the recent impacts of Cyclone Ditwah and the broader implications for developing nations like Sri Lanka.
This lecture, led by Sushovan Dhar from the Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt (CADTM), examines how climate disasters intersect with global finance, debt restructuring, privatisation, land grabs, and contractor-driven reconstruction.
By exploring the global–local dynamics of disaster capitalism, the session highlights how vulnerable populations disproportionately bear the costs of environmental crises, while capital interests often gain. The discussion aims to encourage alternative approaches that prioritise equitable, ecological, and people-centered development.
