What is Climate Justice?
Climate justice is both a movement and a way of approaching the global climate crisis that makes connections between climate change and social justice.
It recognizes that the adverse impacts of climate change are not equitable, and fall disproportionately on marginalized and underserved communities. With rising temperatures, human lives—particularly in people of color, low-income, and Indigenous communities—are affected by compromised health, financial burdens, and social and cultural disruptions. Those who are most affected and have the fewest resources to adapt to climate change are also the least responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions—both globally and within the United States.
Climate justice belongs in every subject we teach, from humanities to business, economics, health sciences, and all areas of STEM. Join our incredible lineup of facilitators and speakers in a series of interactive virtual workshops designed to assist you in creating an active learning action plan that builds climate justice into your course.
