'In this all-hands-on-deck moment, it is essential to recognize and advance the dignity of all those hands. Only with climate justice can climate action succeed.'
At this month's annual United Nations conference on climate change in Egypt, delegates from around the globe will encounter something new: a Climate Justice Pavilion in the official"Blue Zone," where diplomats and policymakers gather.
Our solutions, too, are similar: community-controlled solar energy independent of the grid. Forest protection efforts that curb climate change while blunting flooding and erosion. Agricultural practices that produce healthy food without depleting the land or furthering climate change. Climate justice voices are united in knowing this foot-dragging has to stop. I call it a new era of IRON will—of implementation, resolve, opportunity, and new approaches. Implementation: We cannot wait until utilities and oil companies decide it is sufficiently profitable to put solutions in place. We cannot wait until politicians are sure it is advantageous to act.
New approaches: From young people in Liberia and Sierra Leone making their livings by charging people's smart phones with solar panels, to diverse U.S. neighborhoods developing community-controlled solar energy systems, communities are creating sustainable solutions that break free from outdated business models that don't serve us well.
