This is the first event from the 2025-2026 CISSC Working Group, Confronting Emergent Dystopias. This panel discussion will focus onthe new frontiers of greenwashing dystopic futures - including by using environmentalism (e.g. large-scale tree-planting, solar farms, and carbon storage) as an excuse to justify obvious social and ecological degradation. With insights from India, Quebec, Mi’kmaki and beyond, participants will come to understand the tactics being employed in greenwashing and how to creatively combat it through counterbranding strategies.

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
