In this episode, we explore the connection between climate justice and immigration, examining the specific challenges faced by immigrant communities in the face of climate disasters. We are joined by Ahmed Gaya (he/they), Director of the Climate Justice Collaborative at the National Partnership for New Americans, who breaks down key vulnerabilities for immigrant communities and how differences in culture, language, and economics can compound these vulnerabilities. We uncover the potential policy interventions that can foster more positive outcomes and discuss how community-led solutions are mapping out a path forward. Join us as we examine this intersection of climate justice and explore how environmental justice advocates can effectively integrate these insights into their work.
