A key component of building solidarity in the fight for climate injustice is recognizing and uplifting the crucial on-the-ground work being done in communities all over the world. Asad Rehman, executive director of War on Want, co-founder of the COP26 Coalition, and organizer for climate, racial, economic, and social justice, is a leader on the frontlines of the climate justice movement.

Intergovernmental climate panels have historically prioritized science and engineering research rather than research into the social sciences to arrive at policy “solutions,” often cutting corners around what is required to properly serve frontline communities who bear the brunt of the climate and energy burden. An upcoming report by the Center previews what a just transition to renewable energy would require, and offers an inspiring and empowering solutions-focused perspective to achieving societies where democratic, community-controlled power is possible.
This year alone, the world encountered climate events of unprecedented destruction. Unfortunately, for the most vulnerable, this has been their reality for many years — a reality they have now been forced to flee.

It is guaranteed to be an eye-opening Thanksgiving read!
The climate justice movement must work to leverage the power of currency to create a more just, sustainable, and equitable world.

The Center’s latest report, A Green New Meal: How Factory Farming Fuels Climate Injustice and What We Can Do About It, has just been released. Here is a collection of some of the most important definitions associated with Factory Farming. Read the Report (linked) for more!
The 20th century saw an unprecedented increase in global mean sea level (GMSL), rising faster than any prior century for 33 millennia. But low-lying coastal communities like Miami-Dade, Florida are the ones facing the most severe social, economic, and political ramifications of GMSL rise.
For the past two weeks, many of the world’s leaders and representatives have converged in Glasgow, Scotland, for the 26th annual Conference of Parties (COP26).
