The Dominion's Climate Justice Issue- speech by Dru Oja Jay

The Dominion & Climate Justice Montreal

by Off the Hour

Every year, the Meda Co-op publishes a special issue of The Dominion delving deeper into one particular topic. In March, based on reader input & proposals, we'll be publishing our next special issue - this time on Climate Justice.

Climate justice involves injecting a human element to the climate debate, and making social justice a top priority. This doesn't just mean considering the poorest of the poor in the regions most vulnerable to the effects of global warming, it also means enhancing equality while rapidly reducing emissions in high-emitting countries like Canada.

Dru Oja Jay is co-author of the report Offsetting Resistance: The effects of foundation funding from the Great Bear Rainforest to the Athabasca River. He is a member of the editorial collective of the Dominion, and lives in Montreal.
