Climate Justice Definition
To achieve equitable and just outcomes, we must ensure equity and inclusion are centered in decision-making and utilize a climate justice lens. Climate Justice aims to establish a world where everyone has dignity and can thrive. Climate Justice is realized when the residents and communities that experience the most harm from unhealthful air and water, the urban heat island effect, fewer trees and less access to greenspace, and other inequities related to environmental racism, are prioritized with investments that lead to cleaner air and water, more energy-efficient and healthful homes and businesses, equal access to greenspace, and accelerated economic opportunity.
A Climate Just Saint Paul looks like a community in which there are equitable and sustainable systems so that everyone has dignity and can thrive by having access to clean air and water, greenspaces and natural areas, economic stability and mobility, healthy food, affordable and safe housing and neighborhoods, and a safe and quality education.
