Abstract

This paper's goal is to highlight the crucial role anti-colonial science plays in tackling environmental disasters. Drawing from the works of Steven J. Harris, Amilcar L. Cabral, and Sandra Harding Fighting Environmental Disasters with Anti-Colonial Science emphasizes the importance of recognizing historical biases in scientific knowledge production and advocating for the inclusion of diverse, often marginalized, perspectives. It is argued that understanding the past's exclusionary scientific practices can inform more equitable environmental strategies today.
