About
2026 has been marked by an increase in climate catastrophes across the globe from extreme heat, forest fires to flash floods. Yet at the same time, the environmental movement is struggling to gain sufficient traction or momentum at a political or economic level. Bestselling author Robert Moor has spent years exploring how humans move through and transform the natural world, from On Trails to his new book In Trees offering a manifesto for change. University of Toronto scholar Rebecca Hogue examines a darker inheritance: the entanglement of empire, militarization and environmental destruction across the Pacific, including the enduring legacy of nuclear testing on Indigenous communities. With Philippe Sands, whose book coming The Fifth Crime: On Ecocide, Justice and Hope will be published next year, they ask where can we find collective human responsibility to save the planet we inhabit and consider whether we have now reached an environmental tipping point or is there a momentum of ‘rupture’ that will reframe the narrative?
Rupture / Justice is a specially curated series of events examining the fault lines that are fracturing our times. Guided by Philippe Sands, award-winning author and one of the world’s foremost international lawyers, each event takes a thematic approach to bring together a panel of global voices to ask, when the world breaks, how can wounds be healed, who will tell the story, and where and when can justice be applied?
