Where there is progress, disruption is sure to follow. In this week’s Climate Justice newsletter, we look at the disruptions that put progress for climate justice at risk. First, despite making strides in fighting the climate crisis, Europe now faces a different battle: public backlash. Next, we revisit the water crisis in Jackson, MS, and how it is part of a larger set of interconnected injustices revealing the complexity of environmental racism. Then, an article from the late activist Al Weinrub on why a centralized energy model is key for a more just energy future. Finally, a conversation with Astra Taylor about how capitalism manufactures insecurity, how it is weaponized against us, and why we must embrace our shared vulnerability to create a safer and better world.
