Who does climate change impact most?

Countries and peoples that are least responsible for causing climate change are the ones suffering most from its effects.

We brought together UBC faculty, students, staff, and community leaders for an exploration of what climate justice means and why it is so critical to climate solutions. Watch to learn about climate justice in Africa, climate justice as a threat to Indigenous sovereignty, BC’s oil tanker and pipeline projects and climate justice, and the global policy framework for acting on climate.

*This virtual event was interrupted by an attendee posting racist commentary in the chat. The recording was edited to remove any reference to this incident in order to avoid providing a platform for racism. UBC condemns and denounces all incidents of anti-Black and anti-Asian racism and the continued racism and oppression that is directed at Indigenous communities.*

Organized by the UBC Sustainability Initiative, presented in partnership with the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions.
