Together, they explore how the internet has transformed climate movements, why climate change cannot be separated from broader social and political crises, and what alternatives exist to today's Big Tech-dominated digital landscape.

From technopolitics and pluriversality to digital activism, coloniality, and the future of an ethical internet, this conversation challenges us to rethink not only the technologies we use, but the worlds we are creating through them.
