Abstract

The year is now 2051 and the United National Climate Change Conference is holding its COP56 gathering in the midst of true existential climate collapse: The polar caps have melted causing massive flooding to the world’s coastal cities, the Amazon Rainforest the “lungs of the earth” have essentially been destroyed, and the toxic pollution in our oceans has killed most of the marine species. This dystopian scenario is far from fantasy. Candidly, until we peel away the prevailing power arrangement of the world order, where the neo-imperialistic structures permeate the climate agenda (especially within the United Nations), we will be stuck in the same quagmire of decoloniality and what scholars’ term the “modernity/coloniality complex” (Katanekza, 2018).
