The latest IPCC report confirms much of what we already know - that we need drastic and real action if we are to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, it also includes a whole chapter on another set of issues previously unaddressed - the role of people in this change.

See, if you’re reading, watching, sharing or liking any of this, you are a human - welcome to the team! Ultimately, the changes we all need to secure the future of the world we all share are going to come from each and every one of us working together in our own ways, despite our differences.

Climate change has been shown to impact women, BIPOC and marginalized individuals more than any other, so what good are solutions to climate change if they only further that othering? Whats the point of moving from a fossil fuel economy to green energy if the way that we do it continues to prey upon disenfranchised communities around the world through the same patriarchal colonial systems that created climate change in the first place?

Us humans created this mess through class structures, racism, bigotry and division, and that is not the way we are doing to solve it. The only way we’re going to get through any of this, is together. We need to change the way we do things to include literally everyone in these discussions and these processes to create opportunity through change so where one industry model dies, a newer, brighter, more innovative and sustainable one arises to create an equitable and just transition for us all.
