As the world faces a critical historical conjuncture marked by rising inequality, ecological disruption, and geopolitical fragmentation, the Political Ecology Network (POLLEN) will convene its biennial international conference in Barcelona, Spain, from June 29 to July 3, 2026, hosted across the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Barcelona (UB). The event will bring together more than 1,500 researchers, activists, representatives of civil society organizations, and creators from across the globe to dissect contemporary crises and forge pathways toward peaceful, just alternatives.
