There is simply no room left for new investments in long-lived carbon intensive infrastructure. Still, public agencies continue to provide tens of billions of dollars to finance and support such investments each year. This has to stop.

  • Letter to Climate Envoy John Kerry
    March 30, 2021 The Honorable John Kerry Special Presidential Envoy for Climate United States State Department 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, We the 145 undersigned organizations, many of which are members of the Stop The Money Pipeline coalition, wish to welcome you to your new role. The creation of your position, and your long history of leadership on climate change, is an important sign of the commitment the Biden administration has to achieving a 100% clean energy economy. We look forward to working with you to ensure we protect the workers and the communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Today we write to request your support and leadership in urgently addressing one of the most important and overlooked drivers of climate change: ending the flow of private finance from Wall Street to the industries driving climate change around the world — fossil fuels and forest-risk commodities. As Bill McKibben has written, “money is the oxygen on which the fire of global warming burns.”1 Since the Paris Agreement was signed, that fire has been raging: $3.8 trillion from global banks has flowed to fossil fuels from 2016-2020;2 over that same period, global banks invested over $191 billion in forest-risk commodities worldwide.3 The largest fossil fuel lenders, insurance providers, and institutional investors are all U.S.-headquartered firms. JPMorgan Chase has been the largest fossil fuel banker in the world by a wide margin in recent years.4 Companies like Liberty Mutual, AIG, and Chubb exacerbate climate risks by supporting increasingly risky fossil fuel development.

  • January 10, 2019 Re: Legislation to Address the Urgent Threat Of
    January 10, 2019 Re: Legislation to Address the Urgent Threat of Climate Change Dear Representative: On behalf of our millions of members and supporters, we are writing today to urge you to consider the following principles as the 116th Congress debates climate change legislation and momentum around the country builds for a Green New Deal. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently warned, if we are to keep global warming below 1.5°C, we must act aggressively and quickly. At a minimum, reaching that target requires visionary and affirmative legislative action in the following areas: Halt all fossil fuel leasing, phase out all fossil fuel extraction, and end fossil fuel and other dirty energy subsidies. The science is clear that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground. Pursuing new fossil fuel projects at this moment in history is folly. Most immediately, the federal government must stop selling off or leasing publicly owned lands, water, and mineral rights for development to fossil fuel producers. The government must also stop approving fossil fuel power plants and infrastructure projects. We must reverse recent legislation that ended the 40-year ban on the export of crude oil, end the export of all other fossil fuels, and overhaul relevant statutes that govern fossil fuel extraction in order to pursue a managed decline of fossil fuel production. Further, the federal government must immediately end the massive, irrational subsidies and other financial support that fossil fuel, and other dirty energy companies (such as nuclear, waste incineration and biomass energy) continue to receive both domestically and overseas.

  • A Conversation with Mustafa Ali
    SEARCH [ BLOG ] UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS “You Need to Move Beyond Surviving to Thriving”: A Conversation with Mustafa Ali DERRICK Z. JACKSON, FELLOW | JUNE 1, 2017, 2:21 PM EDT Like 287 Tweet Before he resigned in March as assistant associate administrator for environmental justice at the Environmental Protection Agency, Mustafa Ali was not a household name. He received virtually no national press during his 24 years of holding the White House and 17 federal agencies accountable for embedding environmental justice into policy making. Under a 1994 executive order issued by President Clinton, every agency was supposed to identify and address “disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs on people of color and low-income communities. Ali did that work under both the Republican administrations of George H.W Bush and George W. Bush and the Democratic administrations of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. In fact, the success he has most quickly raised in interviews after his resignation is among the most bipartisan. Investing in community transformation After residents in some neighborhoods in Spartanburg, South Carolina organized around cancers and other deadly and debilitating diseases that seemed connected to Superfund and Brownfield sites, the EPA gave a community group $20,000 in 1997 as seed money to plan a healthy future. Named ReGenesis, the organization ultimately parlayed that grant into development strategies that netted more than $270 million for health centers, a community center, affordable housing, job training, transportation improvements and further environmental cleanups. A project that began under Clinton received a particularly big endorsement in 2004 by South Carolina’s Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

  • 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.

  • Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History
    JOHN MAUNU Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History ncient cave art showed that humans did not regard themselves as the center of the Anatural world. Lascaux cave art showed how animals and the environment were the center of human life. The Neolithic Revolution saw a change over time as to the relationship between humans and the environment. Early Vedic shamans wrote poems on the power of forests and nature; Taoists and the Buddha shared a deep respect for the environment and nature. However, with the Neolithic Revolution, humans began moving from the Lascaux perspective of humans in a secondary role in the environment to viewing nature and the environment as real estate, “territory,” and property to be dominated and exploited; since then most historians wrote about the environment from this human-centered perspective. However, by the mid twentieth century, there evolved among many environmentalists in the United States a model for understanding global environmental history in terms of the interaction between humankind and the environment, which was soon adopted by most world historians. The following digital resources reflect these shifts—these “changes over time”—in the historiography of the global environmental history. This database is divided into sec- tions: Environmental Racism/Justice, Ecofeminism; Queer Ecology; Far Right Environ- mentalism; Global Sustainability and Environment Resources; Teaching Sustainability and Environmental History, with a sub-heading, Teaching the Environment and Collapse of Civilization Resources; Eco-Fiction/Climate Fiction; Environment/Nature in Art and Architecture; Religion and Environment; Digital Resources arranged by global regions, such as the Artic, with sources arranged within regions chronologically using common world historian periodization; and, finally, Environment Journals/Websites.
