The generational threats to our well-being caused by ecological disruptions and climate change fuel the climate crisis and its impacts in overburdened, frontline communities. As long as injustices persist, there will be a resolute fight for a livable future. How our society chooses to respond to these impacts and remake itself toward a livable future determines how we authentically live up to our social justice and racial equity ideals. There is no future without Climate and Environmental Justice.
Frontline movement leaders have been showing up and leading us for decades as champions of democracy, working to ensure that communities most affected by environmental issues have the power to create their desired solutions. Their work is essential in addressing systemic inequalities and empowering communities to take action.
This year’s Climate Week in New York City marks the 10-year anniversary of the 400,000-strong Peoples’ Climate March, which was “a shift in the national U.S. climate movement, in centering the leadership of Indigenous communities, communities of color, and working-class white communities who are both at the Frontlines of the Crises and the Forefront of Change.”
This September, we invite you to join us for Climate Week events on campus and around the City. Let’s come together as a community and collectively envision a better climate future, one where justice is at the core. Our keynote event will feature two prominent speakers, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Stacey Abrams, who will lead a conversation on what we can do in the United States to reimagine a “Better world ahead.”
Stay Tuned to this Climate Week Hub for upcoming events, and feel free to share widely. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at tedc@newschool.edu.
