In our first episode, we uncover the transformative potential of climate justice and intersectionality approaches to the climate crisis. As we look back on the history of climate justice and its roots in Black liberation movements, we begin to explore the relevance that these approaches have in today’s fight for a just world, and how BIPOC communities in Europe are developing real solutions to respond to the disproportionate impacts of climate breakdown. From here, we can begin to make the necessary shift from ‘climate change’ towards an intersectional climate justice perspective.

Our “Reframing climate justice” series is focused on telling stories around the climate emergency in Europe from the perspectives of Black, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPOC) in Europe.
