The roots of modern environmental degradation lie in colonial-era resource extraction and industrialization. Historical parallels include the deforestation of the Amazon and the Dust Bowl, both driven by unsustainable land use.
Climate change is not merely an environmental issue but a systemic crisis rooted in extractive economies, colonial histories, and power imbalances.
Indigenous knowledge and cross-cultural perspectives offer alternative models of sustainability, while scientific evidence demands urgent action. A just transition must include marginalized voices and prioritize ecological regeneration over profit. By integrating these dimensions, we can move from crisis to transformation, building a future where climate justice is inseparable from social and economic justice.
