  • The Politics of Representation in the Climate Movement
    The Politics of Representation in the Climate Movement Article by Alast Najafi July 17, 2020 For decades, the tireless work of activists around the world has advanced the climate agenda, raising public awareness and political ambition. Yet today, one Swedish activist’s fame is next to none. Alast Najafi examines how the “Greta effect” is symptomatic of structural racial bias which determines whose voices are heard loudest. Mainstreaming an intersectional approach in the climate movement and environmental policymaking is essential to challenge the exclusion of people of colour and its damaging consequences on communities across the globe. The story of Greta Thunberg is one of superlatives and surprises. In the first year after the schoolgirl with the signature blond braids emerged on the public radar, her fame rose to stratospheric heights. Known as the “Greta effect”, her steadfast activism has galvanised millions across the globe to take part in climate demonstrations demanding that governments do their part in stopping climate change. Since she started her school strike back in August 2018, Greta Thunberg has inspired numerous and extensive tributes. She has been called an idol and the icon the planet desperately needs. The Church of Sweden even went so far as to playfully name her the successor of Jesus Christ. These days, Greta Thunberg is being invited into the corridors of power, such as the United Nations and the World Economic Forum in Davos where global leaders and chief executives of international corporations listen to her important message. Toward the end of 2019, her media exposure culminated in a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize and an extensively covered sail across the Atlantic with the aim of attending climate conferences in New York and Chile.

  • Focus on Change: a Closer Look at Climate Change Impacts in the Northeast
    Focus on Change: A Closer Look at Climate Change Impacts in the Northeast A synthesis of the June 27, 2012 conference held at Pace’s Schimmel Theater in downtown Manhattan This synthesis has been drafted by the staff of the Pace Energy and Climate Center and is not a word-for-word transcript of the event. Any errors or omissions are the responsibility of Pace and the text should not be used for quotations or direct attribution to speakers without the speaker's permission. What’s at Stake? Bill McKibben & 350.org The sprawling nature of the environmental movement is a bright light to emphasize before focusing on the grimmer stuff. People of all kinds are trying to do something about climate change, the greatest problem that we have ever faced. CNN has called the climate movement the “most widespread political activity in the history of the planet.” 350.org has organized 20,000 rallies in 192 countries, every nation save North Korea. Still, the fight against climate change is being lost. The level of carbon in the atmosphere is increasing, and worse, the temperature is increasing. Just this spring, researchers in the Arctic recorded CO2 concentrations of more than 400 parts per million (ppm), which is well above the 350 ppm that scientists have determined is the highest safe CO2 concentration and from which 350.org takes its name. Within 18 months, the rest of the world will catch up to the Arctic CO2 concentration, which is the highest level recorded in 800,000 years. From these sobering statistics we take renewed determination.

The atmosphere and oceans have warmed, leading to rising sea levels, a sharp drop in Arctic sea ice, floods, heatwaves, and fires. Calls to action are getting stronger. Concerns about climate change have become a full social movement, stimulating climate activism from the bottom up to the world, especially among young people. Campaigns are initiated by governments and international organizations, scientists and scientific institutions, organiza- tions, groups, and people in civil society, public intellectuals and political, religious leaders, people of culture and entertainment. These campaigns generally aim to inform, raise awareness and shape public understanding about the science, problems, and policy of cli- mate change, with the hope that, first of all, people will change their attitudes and behavior, and secondly, will mobilize to put pressure on policymakers for effective climate policies. Keywords: Civil society, climate activism, climate change, demonstrations, social campaigns.

  • 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.

Drucken Aktivisten aus aller Welt Nicht nur Greta und Luisa: 12 junge Menschen, die lautstark für das Klima kämpfen Samstag, 28.09.2019, 12:23 · · von FOCUS-Online-Redakteurin Hanna Klein und FOCUS-Online-Redakteurin Uschi Jonas Startseite Teilen E-Mail Kommentare Mehr FOCUS Online/dpa/Twitter/Instagram/Children vs Climate Crisis FOCUS-Online-Redakteurin Hanna Klein FOCUS-Online-Redakteurin Uschi Jonas Samstag, 28.09.2019, 12:23 Wenn es um die junge Klimabewegung geht, fokussiert sich die öffentliche Diskussion schnell auf eine Person: die 16-jährige Greta Thunberg. In Deutschland kennen viele noch Luisa Neubauer als Kopf von "Fridays for Future" - aber es gibt noch viel mehr lautstarke Mitstreiter auf der ganzen Welt. FOCUS Online zeigt, wen Sie noch kennen sollten. 1. Alexandria Villasenor (14 Jahre) - USA Alexandria Villasenor ist im Norden Kaliforniens geboren. "Als ich die Verbindung zwischen den Waldbränden und dem Klimawandel verstanden hatte, wollte ich etwas tun", sagt die 14-Jährige. Im Dezember 2018 begann sie mit dem Schulstreik – als eine der ersten in den USA. Für sie seien Schulstreiks einer der besten Wege, um Druck auf Menschen in Machtpositionen auszuüben, sagte Villasenor in einem Interview mit " Mashable ". In den USA ist "Fridays for Future" noch nicht so verbreitet wie in vielen Ländern Europas. Villasenor glaubt, dass das vor allem an der fehlenden Bildung rund um das Thema Klimawandel liegt. "Hier in den USA wird Klimawandel als Meinung deklariert." Deshalb ist eines ihrer Ziele, dass alle in ihrer Heimat verstehen, dass die Klimakrise auf Wissenschaft und Fakten basiert.
