The Seventh SSFS focuses on the theme of “Climate Change, Global Crises, and Community Regeneration”. As a continuation of the debates of previous forums on reviewing critical situations and exploring alternatives, the Seventh SSFS aims to examine the current state of affairs, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Cold War, nuclear weapons proliferation, nuclear power plant catastrophes, climate change, weather extremities, environmental pollution, food and fresh water shortages, US geopolitical and currency domination, and the US sanctions against Venezuela, Iran, and China. Taking note of the consequences and effects on nature and on peoples especially those from the global south, the Forum has brought together academic scholars, feminists, peace activists,community workers, food producers, and rural regeneration promoters to review, articulate and debate theories and practices in transformative and collective actions called forth by the crises of capitalism affecting the ecological, the social, the political, and the economic. Drawing upon experiences of community governance in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the Forum is a platform for dialogues and exchanges among grassroots and resistance practices in the production, dissemination and use of knowledge as instruments of problematization and self-organization, as well as interactions among thinkers in search of paradigms for peace and justice. Since the Third SSFS in 2016, the Forum has become an annual event in early summer in Lingnan University. All proceedings of the Forums were video-recorded and uploaded to the websites of Lingnan University and Global University for Sustainability: https://commons.ln.edu.hk/southsouthforum/ and https://our-global-u.org/oguorg/en/conference/
