The Gonzaga University Institute for Climate, Water, and the Environment welcomes to you their next Common Home lecture.

The term "Climate Justice" is rapidly replacing "Climate Change" as the way we talk about the existential threat to humanity. But mainstream Climate Justice framing has tended to focus on the disproportionate impacts of climate change on certain communities; particularly the poor, BIPOC, Global South, Small Island Nations, People with Disabilities, and more. While recognizing that those "hit first and worst" and "on the frontlines" are least responsible for the crisis is essential; it is insufficient. When the story stops there, it is the story of victimhood and not the true story of agency and action. Those on the frontlines of the crisis are at the forefront of the solutions.

This public event is shared by the CSJ Center for Reconciliation and Justice as a resource for the LMU Laudato Si' Action Platform.
