JUST TRANSITION
A Just Transition to clean energy prioritizes BIPOC communities, who are disproportionately impacted by resource extraction industries and by the effects of climate change. At this critical moment in history we must ensure that those who shoulder the highest burden are at the forefront of the movement for a livable and thriving planet. Sacred Earth Solar currently assists Indigenous communities in exploring renewable energy within the broader context of antiracist climate work, ensuring that these communities are given priority in keeping their communities safe and healthy.
Public education around Just Transition allows individuals and communities to name the intersecting burdens that they face and stand in solidarity to alter our collective futures. Sacred Earth Solar, Indigenous Climate Action and David Suzuki Foundation are currently partnering to turn Melina’s research into a Just Transition Guide that helps communities navigate the process of bringing renewable energy in.
