Numerous Issues Related To Environmental Concerns

Specify Alternate Text

December 14, 2015, Paris, France – As the UN Summit on Global Climate Change neared completion, the public Climate Generations Space was the forum for discussion of numerous social justice issues related to the environment. This includes the systemic racism that leads to many African-American communities being on the “frontline” of environmental degradation. Other groups offered community-based solutions to climate change. See the latest article in Global Sisters Report by Sister Elise D. García, OP.
