WHERE YOU LIVE MATTERS
In neighborhoods with fewer trees and more concrete, "heat islands" generate much more intense heat.
HOW YOU GROW FOOD MATTERS
In rural areas, communities live under the threat of pesticide contamination.
WHAT YOU EAT MATTERS
Access to healthy food is a privilege, many only have access to ultra-processed foods.
WHAT YOU DRINK MATTERS
Clean water does not reach everyone. Remote communities face scarcity and contamination.
The Health, race and climate Bulletin highlights how racial and climate inequalities impact health and suggests actions to promote justice and equity.
ABOUT THE CBJC
The Brazilian Center for Climate Justice (CBJC) is a national civil society organization dedicated to addressing the issues of the Black population within Brazil’s climate agenda. Our mission is to expand public debate and influence public policies on climate justice and racial equity at local, regional, and national levels.
The climate emergency is a crisis of environmental, social and economic struggle against structural inequalities. We recognize that racism is a system of oppression in all its political and social dimensions. Therefore, discussing climate justice is, above all, confronting environmental racism.
