This month’s Climate Justice newsletter looks at crucial strategies for mitigating the climate crisis and building solidarity: mutual aid, land stewardship, reparations, and community capital. First, we dive into the history of mutual aid and its deep roots in US justice movements—and why climate justice requires this work. Next, Steve Dubb analyzes a report on tribal land stewardship and how Native-led organizations have all the knowledge and insights to lead this work—yet they continue to lack the funding. Next, Rithika Ramamurthy interviews Olúfemi O. Táíwò, whose new book argues that reparations play a vital role in climate justice efforts. Lastly, Dubb reports from Puerto Rico, where surging community activism has increased investment in public facilities like parks and public beaches, as well as renewable energy projects and a “Green Corridor.”
