Welcome back to this mini series on imperfect sustainability!! My aim for this series is to inspire you to view sustainability in a more positive light and to help you to genuinely make a difference in your own life. Let's tackle this with a non-judgemental, solutions-driven attitude and lift each other up rather than tearing each other down.

Episode 5: why we need gender & racial equality for climate justice

"If you care about the planet, you need to care about racial and gender inequalities."

Apart from being so so important in their own right, achieving gender and racial justice are so necessary for reversing climate change and sustainability. Empowering women, educating girls & family planning could prove incredibly important solutions, with a predicted reduction of 1 billion people that could be born by 2050 possible.
