Climate change is hitting both rural and urban environments hard.

On 20 September 2024, Professor Koen De Feyter passed away. Unexpectedly. Professor De Feyter was an inspirational scholar. He published widely on human rights and development cooperation, the rights of indigenous peoples, human rights and business, and the right to development.

His driving force was his quest for justice, in particular for indigenous peoples, local communities and the Palestinian people.

In this lecture series, four colleagues from different parts of the world who have closely collaborated with professor De Feyter will commemorate his life and legacy.
