Climate Justice Club Presents a Factbook on the Intersection of Social Justice and Environmental and Climate Justice
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University’s Climate Justice Club presents a Factbook on the intersection of social justice and environmental and climate justice. During the summer of 2020, we released the Factbook Unlearning Racist Behaviors in the Climate Activist World, which addresses the intersection of climate justice and environmental racism. The purpose of this factbook is to encourage our audience to utilize the sources in an effort to educate themselves about the disproportionate impact polluting industries have on communities of color. Social Justice in the Environmental Movement: A Factbook to Explore and Learn About the Intersection of Social Justice & Environmental and Climate Justice expands on our past factbook by not only considering how our club’s mission overlaps with racial justice, but with social justice as a whole. Please visit NAACP’s website to learn more about environmental and climate justice. Climate Justice Club encourages you to read through these resources to understand/learn why there is no climate justice without social justice. Please view the Table of Contents to explore the various media presented throughout the Factbook; there are resources for everyone! We believe it is pertinent that we continue educating ourselves and turn this learning into collective action. Share with us the information that stuck out most to you, and promote it on social media! We would like to credit the organization/platform Intersectional Environmentalist for providing some of the resources found throughout the Factbook. Authored by Maggie Morin With Support by Con Brady, Melissa Burrell, Valerie Doze, Tamia Francois, & Carolyn Rowley In Collaboration with Saint John’s Outdoor University 1 Table of Contents Items below are hyperlinked for your convenience. -

Media Empowers Brave Girls to be Global Activists By Gayle Kimball1 Abstract A surprising way to silence young women globally, in addition to overly protective families, is by scholars of youth studies and development professionals. Ageism against youth is rarely discussed, so this article reveals this academic bias that ignores or discounts youth voices— especially young women. However, in the safe space of their bedrooms, the Internet and the cell phone enable young women to express their voices, even to organize uprisings. They can get around family restrictions and desires to protect them by speaking publicly from a private space. Some media provide empowering images for young women activists and informative networks of support. Readers probably don’t know about young women who led uprisings, so the article will name Generation Y and Z women activists who led revolutions in this century using social media. -
Juliana V. United States: Climate Change, Youth
JULIANA V. UNITED STATES: CLIMATE CHANGE, YOUTH ACTIVSM, AND THE LAW by JORDAN BARTON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Biology and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science June 2021 An Abstract of the Thesis of Jordan Barton for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Biology to be taken June 2021 Title: Juliana v. United States: Climate Change, Youth Activism, and the Law Approved: _____Mark Carey, Ph.D___________ Primary Thesis Advisor The youngest people alive today and all future generations have something in common: they will suffer the greatest consequences of climate change, yet they have no voice in the political process with which to defend themselves. In response to political inaction, motivated young people take their activism to the courts or to the streets. This thesis examines the growing movements of youth-oriented climate litigation and activism that both appear reframe climate as an issue of justice. Specifically, I focus on Juliana v. United States, the 2015 lawsuit coordinated by Our Children’s Trust in which 21 youth plaintiffs accuse the federal government of willfully violating their fundamental rights, in order to show how a lawsuit can frame its legal arguments to make a compelling argument even beyond the courtroom. This research contributes to the fields of climate law and activism by drawing connections from litigators to activists to demonstrate how Juliana can be viewed as another aspect of the growing wave of youth-led climate activism. ii Acknowledgements I want to start by thanking Professor Mark Carey for taking on the dual role of primary advisor and CHC representative, and for saying yes to a biology major who wanted to write a thesis about environmental law. -
