July 18, 2019Watch: Introducing the Equitable and Just Climate Platform
For too long, systemic racism and injustice have left economically disadvantaged communities, tribal communities, and communities of color particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
A coalition of environmental justice and national climate organizations are proud to announce the Equitable and Just National Climate Platform, a commitment that advances the goals of economic, racial, climate and environmental justice to improve the public health and well-being of all communities, while tackling the climate crisis. Environmental justice advocates and national environmental organizations have committed to advocate this historic, bold platform that lays out our shared vision and goals, including:
- A healthy climate and air quality for all;
- Access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity, water, and transportation for every community;
- An inclusive, just, and pollution-free energy economy with high- quality jobs;
- Safe, healthy communities and infrastructure.
