These roles shape what climate justice looks like in an unequal world.
Our world reflects a carbon divide, with the richest 10% of the population contributing half of net carbon emissions and the poorest 50% bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.
So extreme is this climate inequality that marginalized communities are around five times more likely to be displaced by extreme disasters. This growing realization led Nancy M. Brown to pursue a career as a climate equity specialist.
A lot of the communities Brown works with are wary about the implications of climate change. “We are trying to work with people that have been historically exploited and neglected,” she says.
“People need real-life, grassroots solutions to get them out of their current situation. All we are offering them is data, science, and jargon right now. This has to change.”
But that change requires an equitable and inclusive approach informed by data. To identify groups that are good candidates for specific programs, Brown supplements official poverty figures with information on socioeconomic factors like historical disenfranchisement, cost of living, ethnicity, disease burden, and physical disability. This is part of the strategy, she says, for delivering “a cleaner future to everyone.”

Hmmm. A highly paid job that requires no real skills and has no real definition?
I like that as a possible retirement career.
I currently have a reasonably paid job with huge responsibility, very little oversight, lots of public facing combined with tons of travel. I’m heading out Saturday morning for a two week tour.
Why does CLIMATE JUSTICE make poor people poorer?
These are the nation killing propagandists brain washing your kids. An army of these evil bastards have taken over every public facing instutution.
