Climate change impacts us all, but not equally. Those who contributed the least to the crisis are often the ones who are facing its harshest consequences. This makes climate change not just an environmental story, but a justice story. Climate justice cuts not only across national boundaries, but also lines of race, gender, wealth, and age. If we leave this perspective out of our reporting, we’re leaving out an essential part of the story.
On August 13, CCNow hosted a live training session about how to report climate with a justice lens. Together, we explored how to recognize injustice, investigate responsibilities, and tell stories that reveal the full picture.
