How can climate linked social change work for everyone if it does not address antiblackness?: the unequal realities of climate change

Climate change is a crisis for everyone, but not in the same way, not with the same stakes, and not with the same response. There is an assumption that climate social change action benefits all equally, but this ignores the reality of racialised suffering. My provocation is that this is antiblack.

Abstract

Climate change is a crisis for everyone, but not in the same way, not with the same stakes, and not with the same response. There is an assumption that climate social change action benefits all equally, but this ignores the reality of racialised suffering. My provocation is that this is antiblack. The choice ahead Climate movements must decide: reform the system or transform it? Black survival cannot be an afterthought, it must be a starting point. The time to act was yesterday. The question remains, whose survival is seen as urgent today?<br/>
