This week’s Climate Justice newsletter covers a mix of issues and solutions. First, Climate Justice Senior Editor, Iris Crawford looks at how the federal government has started to organize to work towards racial equity with the help of organizations like Race Forward. Next, Jonathan Sharp examines how private law—when paired alongside grassroots organizing—can be a powerful pathway to justice. Then, an article from The Conversation that explores how to manage public land that is sacred to Native Americans. Lastly, as we are on the cusp of COP27, we look back at an earlier article that discusses equity in land use policy by President and CEO of Smart Growth America, Calvin Gladney.
