Around the world, Black Lives Matter and their allies – are demanding justice — and structural change — in response to years upon years of racist violence, marginalization, and repression. In many instances, activists are being met with further state violence at the hands of police and resistance from elected representatives and officials.

Humankind is facing an extraordinary threat. No, not that threat. The other one. Climate change. And we are running out of time to develop and implement solutions to meet the challenge — or, at least, to mitigate the worst of what’s coming.
Tackling the climate crisis requires radical change, including adaptations to — or perhaps upheavals of — the social, political, and economic systems that have delivered us into this mess.
