CLIMATE EDUCATION | GREEN JOBS | RESILIENT COMMUNITIES

“BIPOC communities continue to find themselves directly in the path of the climate crisis. They live in neighborhoods that are uniquely vulnerable to extreme heat, pollution, and other natural disasters. But their geographical location alone is not the main cause. It is the continuing cycle of systemic and institutional injustices that places marginalized communities at the disposal of climate impacts. This dangerous cycle persists because these marginalized communities have historically never had the agency, resources, or cultural validation for climate justice, putting them further into harm’s way. And the truth is that as minorities, BIPOC communities have had to focus on many other pressing matters such as their rights, healthcare access, pay inequity, etc.”
