Climate Justice

This week, the world is bracing for another Trump presidency. Here, at the Climate Justice desk, we are looking at stories of urgency: actions and policies whose time has come. First, as fire tore through Los Angeles, leveling the homes of residents, including many families of color, so, too, millions of Americans have seen their families’ futures destroyed by medical debt. A new rule seeks to change that, but credit bureaus and debt collectors are mounting challenges—likely so the new administration doesn’t have to. Next, conventional definitions shift risk from investors with capital to communities that lack it, but climate and racial justice need an approach that’s just the opposite. Then, during the first Trump administration, the United States fell dramatically behind in efforts to slow climate change while ramping up emissions and pollution. How have nonprofits and grassroots groups already been preparing to fight the administration’s anti-environmental policies this time, and why does acting locally help the climate globally? Finally, on February 20 at 2 pm EST, join NPQ for a webinar on nonprofit and philanthropic advocacy in a second Trump administration.
