In this episode, we discuss the limitations and potential drawbacks of “clean” technology in addressing climate justice, exploring how these solutions fall short without a deeper cultural and ecological reckoning. Joined by Dr. Denise Fairchild, president emeritus of Emerald Cities Collaborative and a ClimateBreakthrough 2021 Awardee, we reevaluate the role of clean technology in achieving true climate justice. Join us as we explore the importance of reconnecting with traditional cultural practices rooted in the rhythms of nature. Together we assess who truly benefits when we center technology-based solutions and how shifting our focus to strategies based on interdependence can lead to more resilient, justice-centered solutions.
