"Climate solutions from the frontlines of environmental justice" sponsored by Grist and Climate Justice Alliance

As humanity tackles the threat of climate change, it must move with urgency to ensure a liveable future. At the same time, it must also protect the lives and livelihoods of those on the frontline of the crisis today — who suffer unduly from the pollution that contributes to warming, as well as the impacts of a changing climate. Leaders from frontline communities throughout the United States have worked hard to ensure a voice for their neighbors and have also developed a framework for evaluating solutions to the climate crisis that are just and equitable.

In this discussion, leaders from across the country will discuss the framework of centering equity and justice and tackling the root causes of the climate crisis as society moves away from fossil fuels, share real-life examples of how solutions that meet that framework operate on the ground, and warn of what they see as “false solutions,” which rather than benefiting vulnerable communities will ensure they remain sacrifice zones.

Thank you for bringing together a panel with such amazing organizers. I do feel the title of this talk is a bit misleading. The energy of this conversation really goes to critique of greenwashing but not about operationalizing frontline solutions. Unfortunately it is true organizers still need to explain to many why current policy is catastrophic. But I was hoping of more practical visionboarding with other peoples experience with strengthening the medicine - post halting the escalation of harm. What other people feel our post colonial capitalist societies can practice and reinforce and how.

The solution is to work on both sides of the same coin: stop the ‘pollution’ while also clean up the ‘pollution’, AND this will require many different methods working together all at the same time because there have been many different methods of ‘pollution’ working together all at the same time to bring everyone the Climate Catastrophe we have now!
