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.

Jesse Purcell is an artist and professional screen-printer based in Montreal. He is a member of Justseeds artists cooperative, a tri-national group of 25 socially engaged print makers from Mexico city to Montreal.

He talked about Justseeds.
