Towards an Intersectional Climate Response: Tackling Environmental Racism
Climate change is a social issue, a health issue, and one that is deeply intertwined with global patterns of inequity. In communities across the globe, Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) disproportionately bear the brunt of climate change's impacts, in particular through the systems, policies and practices upheld by environmental racism. For example, the serious and negative implications of air and water pollution, soil contamination, and exposure to hazardous chemicals have proven to unequally affect the health and wellbeing of BIPOC communities. Join us for a 90 minute solutions-oriented panel where participants will unpack the inherent inequalities and patterns of injustice that almost always fall along the lines of race, class, ability and gender and propose a way forward for a more just, intersectional and inclusive global climate response.
