Sierra Club’s Post

This is the Trump administration's blueprint for his next administration. If you are working in the climate sector - if you're involved at all in environmental and public health advocacy - read this and dig in. Data suggests we may have passed 1.5 degrees warming, and the setback of a second Trump administration would be catastrophic. We must accelerate progress in cutting emissions NOW, and a second Trump administration will accelerate climate catastrophe instead.

We are stuck in fraying society with politicians claiming to have the answers, focused on dividing communities for their own aims. UK democracy is being undermined - as political leaders focus on dividing communities. As increased disruptive/destructive climate and environmental events will challenge lives/health of communities - regardless of political “tribe” , we should be focused on increasing resilience for challenges ahead. We can continue being sheep ( ie victims), or we can take action with others to find a better pathway forward . Deliberative democracy is a critical element which could help us find ways to build up necessary community resilience. It is not a “silver bullet” ( there are none) , but status quo alternative of expecting some tiny group to have the answers to “lead us” , has brought us where we are today. #democracy #humanrights #climate#nature Check out this free access book to learn more https://lnkd.in/e9JhtZgv https://lnkd.in/eakPY7gG
