Description
Bobbie will share insights and stories from her postdoctoral research journey over the last year that has focused on the intersection of Indigenous communities, tourism and climate justice. Since 2023, Bobbie served as the lead author and researcher for a report released in July 2024 entitled, "Climate Justice and Tourism: An Introductory Guide." This project brought together an international research team and canvassed voices of tourism stakeholders impacted by climate crises from diverse areas of the globe. Key insights from this report, including a focus on fairness and equity in both emissions and adaptation within tourism contexts, will be shared. The second part of Bobbie's talk will address the more critical lens that Bobbie has brought to understandings of climate justice by focusing on the impacts of transition metal mining on Indigenous communities and tourism. Based on fieldwork, workshops and visits across Bolivia, Chile, and Panama, Bobbie shares insights about how the drive to extract 'transition' minerals that are key for decarbonizing technologies is actually putting at risk Indigenous relationships to Country, culture and plans for community tourism.
