The Canadian Senate has passed Canada’s first environmental justice bill C-226 that will require the government to examine the links between racialization, socio-economic status and environmental risk to develop the country’s first national strategy on environmental racism and environmental justice. As an organization committed to anti-racist action on the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis on marginalized communities, we’re encouraged by the potential for progress from this bill.

Freelance writer and editor with 15+ years of experience in the environmental sector. I focus on solutions that will benefit people and planet.
"Marginalized communities across the country (and world) have long been on the frontlines of social and environmental destruction and climate change. With these experiences, though, we have so much to give in terms of climate action, labor, and ingenuity — which is why we must be front and center in collective efforts to stabilize the climate and build a better future." Powerful words from Shaandiin Cedar, whom I was honored to support in the crafting of this post. Please read to learn more about the essential role Indigenous and other marginalized communities have to play in climate action.
This month's issue of #ConnectTheDots was guest authored by our Advisory Board member Shaandiin Cedar and looks at how companies can be allies for environmental justice, and how recent climate policy battles, along with the distribution of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding, have climate and environmental justice implications. 💬 Connect the Dots: Centering Climate Justice 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gm59v38S
