On the Frontlines of the Climate Emergency: Where Immigrants Meet Climate Change
Noting that climate change has already become a major driver of migration, this report seeks to convince funders to support intersectional collaboration among groups focused on immigrant, social, and environmental justice. One goal is to broaden work that has focused on individuals displaced by climate change and climate emergencies to develop an affirmative climate agenda within the immigrant justice community. This will ensure immigrant justice groups will play a greater role in the national movement for climate justice, climate resilience, and in the transformation to an economically sustainable future. The report includes a few examples of how immigrant justice groups are building capacity to engage in this cross-sectional work and collaborating with environmental organizations. The report contains a number of recommendations for funders looking to engage in this work. (Maurice Belanger, Maurice Belanger Associates)
