To respond and stay relevant in a rapidly shifting world, we must embrace change, and this week’s Climate Justice newsletter is all about transformation. First, the best time to address a crisis is before it happens. We look at why nonprofits are uniquely vulnerable to public relations crises and how they can stay ready to face them. Then, as the Los Angeles fires rage, organizations, their staff, and their communities are under threat. How can nonprofits help when they too are burning? And, as the South again faces deadly snow and ice, what happened the last time an unprecedented winter storm struck there, and when will the government response match the urgency and severity of climate change? Finally, the world’s largest climate conference is consistently held in countries with fossil-fuel-heavy economies. Can COP really push the change needed to address these disasters?
