SUMMARY:Our Common Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Our Common Ocean:\nSustainable Relationships with the Ocean in the North Atlantic\, Past & Present\nCoastal communities and environments of the North Atlantic have become contested spaces politically\, socially\, and economically. In Britain and beyond\, many such areas are classed as ‘left behind’\, with traditional industries\, such as shipbuilding or fishing\, becoming at-risk or already extinct. Even off-shore oil and gas\, which gave some communities a new flood of prosperity\, are ebbing away as new ‘green’ economies struggle to take their place\, for reasons both practical and political. The Las Casas Institute is committed to understanding what a socially just relationship with the ocean might look like in both North Atlantic coastal communities and in British ‘Blue’ economies. We are putting forward a method of addressing these tensions by considering historical relationships with ocean economies alongside current thinking\, with the aim to develop core principles that can drive future action. \nWhen we look to the past\, we often talk about its resilient systems and ability to bear persistent pressures and weather extreme disturbances. When we talk of the present\, the importance of sustainability—improving the quality of current and future life in economic\, environmental\, and social terms—is stressed\, but what might a both resilient and sustainable system look like? And who influences it? We need not look far. For instance\, many indigenous populations have not only brought climate change to the international stage\, but have been addressing questions of resilience and sustainability for generations. Such past perspectives help us inform the present\, so that we may provide all stakeholders with a resilient and sustainable future. \nThis discussion-led conference—featuring practitioners\, community representatives\, and academics—will brainstorm principles of what sustainable relationships with the ocean look like in the past\, present\, and future. \nThis half-day conference will take place on Tuesday the 1st of December from 2pm in the Aula of Blackfriars Hall. \nOpen to everyone. Registration required and details to be announced. \nTwo groups of panelists will respond to three main questions. They will speak from their own experience each for 10min\, followed by a 30min moderator-led group discussion and Q&A: \n\n\nAre current and historic coastal practices and industries sustainable? Or are they only resilient in the short-term?\n\nWhat is the greatest challenge that you see in maintaining a sustainable relationship with the ocean today and moving forward?\nWhat kind of future relationship with the ocean would you like to see personally and as a society?\n\nPanel One\, 2pm–3pm\nJohn Angus Macaulay\, ‘The Earl-Medieval Sea-Economies of Northern Britain’\, \nTBA \nTBA \nModerator: Nidanu O’Shea \nPanel Two\, 3.30pm–4.30pm\nTBA \nTBA \nTBA \nModerator: TBA \nThe moderators will offer some closing remarks at 4.45pm and the conference will close with a wine reception. \nPanelists and Moderators\n
