‘Climate change is racist’ perfectly explains the structural racism involved in climate change and the stark disconnect between the causes of climate change and its consequences. With environmental facts and experiences from those most affected, it helps us understand how White privilege and climate change overlap. Definitely, a must-read!

The human cost of global warming

A recent study managed to put a finger on the human cost of global warming and mapped out where climate change is happening and who is most affected. And by doing so, the authors make a compelling case for immediate and aggressive policies to prevent warming above 1.5°C. Let’s discuss why.
