Dialogue Circle: The Earth Revolves Around the Imaginary Axis

Regional Climate Foundation
November 20, 2025 | Thursday
17:30 to
18:30

The dialogue circle will launch the book “The Earth Spins on an Imaginary Axis: The Global Racial Scale of Land and Nature” by geographer and researcher Diosmar Filho, which is part of the fourth volume of the Colletion Caminhos from Global Justice. The book presents a geographical essay exploring the possibilities of human rights with an innovative analysis of the scales of climatic and geological phenomena and events in Global Space constituted by Racial States. It offers a critical reflection on access to land, territories, and natural resources based on the Caatinga biome (Brazil), moving us into the era of racialized techniques and technologies and the evidence of crimes of environmental racism against African and diasporic peoples in the communities and territories of the Global South. A reflection that seeks, in the decarbonization of the planet, ways to eliminate from nature the racial scales responsible for carbonization.
