Why the Climate Movement Must be a Movement for Justice

The fight against climate change and the fight for justice are often treated as separate. Rhiana Gunn-Wright discusses why this is a mistake. There can be no social justice in a world wrecked by climate change; and we cannot stop climate change without politics and policy that put justice at their center. Rhiana Gunn-Wright is a Senior Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and chief policy architect of the Green New Deal—a policy framework that puts justice at the center of climate action.
