Unpacking Climate (In)justice: David Sadoway on the meaning of climate justice and engaging students on the climate crisis

We talk with David Sadoway, faculty member and teacher in Kwantlen's Geography and Environment Department, on the manifold nature of climate (in)justice and using narrative with students to work through the “double exposures” of social, economic and ecological risk and find mobility, food and housing solutions. Topics range widely from the imaginaries of automobility, the scales of climate justice, the inequities of risk and the fog of climate war, lived impacts from Pacific Island nations to the Arctic, the BC heat dome and floods, and the lead of Indigenous communities in finding solutions to the climate crisis and embarking on a just transition.
