'Lip service and empty climate pledges will likely be the payout for communities like mine that will be most harmed by LNG.'
that left millions without access to electricity, we need to focus on building out clean, renewable energy, not propping up the fossil fuel industry.
Everyone should make an effort to participate in climate action, and the attempt to reach equality for all. We must stand collectively and demand action on the climate emergency from those in power.EPA analysis released in 2021 , “the most severe harms from climate change fall disproportionately upon underserved communities who are least able to prepare for, and recover from, heat waves, poor air quality, flooding, and other impacts.” As a result of the gender and racial pay gap, said underserved communities tend to mainly consist of women of color. With less preparation and relief funds, these communities will be hit the hardest by disasters caused by climate change.
For instance, some of the largest oil refineries in the U.S. as well as two LNG export facilities lie in a town in Texas named— a majority-Black community. The air pollution they live in has caused higher cancer rates, and their position on the coast leaves them more vulnerable to water-based natural disasters. This only continues and amplifies during disaster relief efforts. That, too, is barring the effects on women caused by rising tensions and tempers as a result of climate change.
explains that “As climate change drives conflict across the world, women and girls face increased vulnerabilities to all forms of gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence, human trafficking, child marriage, and other forms of violence.”
