We already know that pollution and climate change negatively affect people’s health and quality of life. But we’re not always clear about which people are most exposed and impacted. The harm that comes with rising seas and contaminated water systems isn’t evenly distributed. To the contrary: Those who are already disadvantaged by race, wealth, and income are usually the most affected by environmental disasters. Without recognizing that inequality, we’re not always solving the problems with our water, air, and soil in ways that serve the people who need it most — which is why environmental justice is a critical part of planning a green future that’s good for everyone. If you’ve never heard the term “environmental justice” before, or if you just want to know more about it, watch our video above.

One Earth is an environmental short film I created and edited to help raise awareness about our impact on our environment. It tells the story of how we globally and massively around the world use resources for short term profit, by deforestating, mining, burning fossil fuels, consuming and ever expanding. Our lifestyle leads to the many environmental issues we face today in 2024, including global pollution, climate change, and the massive extinction of animal species. 00:00 Introduction 00:28 One Earth Short Film 03:51 End Credits I am the composer, producer and mix engineer of the music you can hear in this video.

Communities of color face disproportionate rates of natural disaster and environmental harm. Staff writer Vann R. Newkirk II argues that discrimination in public planning is to blame. “Pollution and the risk of disaster are assigned to black and brown communities through generations of discrimination and political neglect,” says Newkirk II. The environment is a system controlled and designed by people—and people can be racist. Subscribe to The Atlantic on YouTube: http://bit.ly/subAtlanticYT

In the latest science on climate tipping points, there are 16 main systems at risk. These systems regulate the climate on Earth. They have been stable and resilient for 10,000 years, enabling humans to flourish. Within each system is a tipping point - push them too far, and they will irreversibly shift from supporting humanity to undermining humanity. Today….from the Arctic to the Amazon the majority of these systems are showing signs of destabilization. At 1.5°C we are likely to cross four tipping points. This will change the world as we know it. Yet every month, we use 1% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5ºC. Every. Single. Month. It's time to change our actions and change our systems so that we can ensure a safe and just future.

Xiuhtezcatl gives presentations on fracking and climate change in schools and conferences nationally. His work on climate change has led him to become a youth plaintiff against the United States for failing to protect the atmosphere. To support this litigation, Xiuhtezcatl met with representatives from all three branches of government working to garner support and create a climate recovery plan based on NASA scientist James Hansen's work. Over eighty members of congress, including the Congressional Progressive Caucus, publicly supports the youth delegation. He also uses his passion for music to inspire his generation.
