Climate change and pollution affect some populations more severely than others, and the disparities are often stark. Our urban planning and population health researchers are working with frontline communities to understand the consequences of carbon emissions on health, as well as experiences with, and responses to, environmental shocks and stressors. View: https://bit.ly/3Vso6qu The research team uses community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods, including surveys, photovoice and storytelling, to center the experiences of impacted communities. The project partners — which include the City of Austin, Austin Independent School District, nonprofit EcoRise, The East Austin College Preparatory At Mlk, Texas Children in Nature Network and 10 coalition members in City of Pharr, TX — will then use these data to pursue small-scale projects and inform larger-scale climate mitigation and adaptation initiatives.

Climate change impacts everyone differently. We don’t experience the effects of the rising sea level the same way a Floridian does. However, the impacts of climate change extend beyond geographic disparities to include demographic inequities. Recognizing climate justice as a civil rights issue is critical in addressing these disparities. In January, we reflected on Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and impact on the civil rights movement. Let’s extend our thinking to climate justice, the intersection of social and environmental justice. Learn more on our blog written by Brogan Ludwig. #climatejustice #climateaction #equity

"I pledge to bring my skills, respect, and compassion to work every day, supporting environmental justice in all our communities. I will honor nature’s beauty and abundance, on which we all depend, and commit to its protection from the climate crisis. I will build a more resilient future, where every person can thrive. I will take my place in history, working with shared purpose in the American Climate Corps on behalf of our nation and planet, its people, and all its species, for the better future we hold within our sight." This text is the new oath recited by members of the American Climate Corps, a new federal initiative mobilizing 9,000 young people to drive the energy transition and promote environmental justice. These young climate champions are dedicated to protecting the planet and fostering a sustainable future. The text of this oath was written by Barbara Kingsolver, acclaimed author known for her deep environmental and social justice themes. Her words capture the essence of commitment needed to build a greener, more equitable world. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #AmericanClimateCorps #EnvironmentalJustice

We are excited to share that our community partners in San Diego and Pomona have each been awarded $22 million through California’s Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program to implement their visions for community-led climate solutions. In San Diego, Environmental Health Coalition convened 11 partners around a vision of a healthier and more resilient Barrio Logan. In Pomona, our community partners Lopez Urban Farm, LATINO AND LATINA ROUNDTABLE OF THE SAN GABRIEL AND POMONA VALLEY, and Day One are among the eight co-applicants of Pomona ACTS led by the Energy Coalition working to connect residents to transportation, renewable energy, green infrastructure, and improved community health. Communities of color are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, experiencing the harmful impacts of climate change first and worst. They know best what they need to build resilience and thrive, but when a community tries to drive change in their own neighborhoods, they are often met with insurmountable challenges caused by historic disinvestment, systemic barriers, and a lack of trust across sectors. Through Greenlining the Block and our capacity building work on the ground, we work with communities of color to gain equitable opportunity and access historic state and federal climate funding. One of our goals is to build the capacity of local leadership to advance community-driven, equitable solutions that strengthen community power. We do this by working with community-based partners directly to provide tailored technical assistance and capacity building support.

Globally, Nature For Justice (N4J) uses nature to positively impact frontline communities confronting the climate crisis. We co-create projects that put communities first and act as powerful vehicles for social justice, community resilience, and adaptation to climate change. We scale our impacts through the aggregation of those communities. Our approach to delivering #socialjustice at scale explained in 6 steps:

Climate change is not just an environmental issue__it's a children's rights issue. Today, millions of children worldwide are facing the devastating impacts of climate change: from natural disasters to food insecurity and health risks. Children are the least responsible for climate change, yet they suffer the most. It's time to ensure accountability and protect the future of our youngest generation. To achieve that, we must demand: Stronger Climate Policies, Support for Affected Communities and Inclusive Decision-Making. Join us in advocating for a world where every child can thrive without the looming threat of climate change. Together, we can create a just and sustainable future for all children. #ClimateJustice #ActOnClimate #ChildrenFirst #SustainableFuture #ClimateActionNow

The urgency for climate justice action has never been clearer. Earth Day is our opportunity to redouble our efforts to advance systems-level and interdisciplinary solutions to addressing climate risk and supporting those enduring disproportionate impact--frontline communities, children, and youth among other populations. We need nonprofits, universities, corporates, and public sector partners at every level to join the collaborative solution space. Earth Day is a poignant reminder of the interdependencies among all life forms on this fragile planet--and of the imperative to protect it for generations to come. CEC thanks and commends our partners in the climate justice community for advancing a collective vision for an Earth Day driven by new commitments, new approaches, and climate action that all respond to this moment. #EarthDay #ClimateJustice #ClimateEquityCollaborative #ClimateEquity

"Climate instability has already devastated people and communities across the U.S. and around the world. And what we’ve seen to date only represents the tip of a (melting) iceberg. The community development sector will play a critical role in the work of responding to, perhaps even averting, the impacts of climate disruption on our most vulnerable communities." - Jamal J.
