In this special mini-episode, Natalya talks about the interconnectedness of social and climate justice. She provides facts about how black and brown communities are being affected by the effects of the changing climate and responses to natural- and human-induced disasters. She ends with an optional pathway forward within the equitable green economy inspired by the NAACP's 2010 Climate Justice Initiative toolkit.
