By Linda Nowlan and the norms and notions of what just is isn t always just-ice..
Who didn’t have a shiver running down their spine listening to U.S. Youth Inauguration poet Amanda Gorman’s poem, “The Hill We Climb”? I know I did. In part, because I know that when it comes to climate change, we’re a long way off from justice. Her poem inspired the title of the UBC Sustainability Initiative’s first Climate Justice free webinar coming up on Friday (March 5): Just Is ≠ Justice.
The notion of climate justice confronts the fact that marginalized people the world over suffer from environmental damage they had no part in creating.
