A new analysis by the Environmental Justice Foundation says that international laws covering refugee protection are too narrow for the climate crisis, calling for a new global agreement to protect those who are forced to flee the effects of climate change.
To fully and systematically address the climate/energy crisis, the plan will have to be far broader in scope than what is currently being proposed. And while we need to mobilize society as a whole with a World War II-level of effort, the reality is that there’s never been a challenge like this before.
