PROGRAMS - climate intersections
Highlighting intersecting injustices
We understand that climate change and vulnerability to it grow out of a long and complex history of imperial domination and exploitation, and that climate change intersects with and exacerbates existing injustices.
As such, we aim to highlight the connections between climate change and struggles for racial justice, gender equality, freedom of movement, and self-determination. For example, we encourage projects that highlight the role of climate change and imperial violence in driving immigration.
