Our last newsletter was on intersectionality and racial justice. Different communities feel the effects of the climate crisis differently: island nations are at the risk of disappearing due to raising seas, while extreme weather conditions are displacing increasing numbers of families from their homes.
Marginalised groups - which make up the global majority - are worst-affected by the climate crisis. This is why we must tackle inequality and the climate hand-in-hand.
Share what you’ve read/listened to/watched recently that helped you understand the links between climate and racial justice in the comments!
I recently read those two articles that I find very interesting on this topic, they show the links between climate change and racial justice in quite simple ways to understand: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/why-is-climate-change-a-racial-justice-issue/
