Climate justice means appreciating that in a world so steeped in patriarchal power and colonial logic, the climate crisis produces gendered, racialized, and socioeconomically-stratified harms. Climate justice requires gender-responsive crisis planning, centering Indigenous knowledge and recommendations, and strengthening mutual aid networks.

Changemaking is multifaceted: wherever your strengths lie, you can contribute to the project of building a more equitable, sustainable future. We need activists, artists, and academics who will push us to creatively reimagine new ways of existing in the world, just as we need advocates, leaders, and policy specialists who will prioritize making the institutions we move through every day more equitable. Each of us can make a difference in the spheres we have access to, and together we can create a more just world.
