Issues in Comparative Education (CICE), Volume 25, Issue 2, Special Issue 2023  \nRacializing Climate Justice in/for Education  \nAlexandra Schindel  \nUniversity at Buffalo (SUNY)  \nMonica L. Miles  \nUniversity at Buffalo (SUNY)  \nKate Haq  \nUniversity at Buffalo (SUNY)  \nKeywords: Climate justice, climate justice education, racial justice, sustainability  \nIntroduction  \nIn this essay, we argue for racializing approaches to teaching climate change to better understand and address climate injustices. The climate emergency and racial injustice have received a lot of attention in the past few years which highlights the intensification and merging of crises. Indeed, there has never been a greater concern in the twenty-first century for the state of the environment and for racial injustices. We give credit to the Black Lives Matter movement for being the megaphone for issues related to Black people. However, even the most passionate activists often view climate and racial injustices as distinct battles. This juxtaposition has left the climate justice movement disproportionately white and without a strong racial analysis that examines the ways people of color and poor people are impacted by climate change (Miles et al., 2021) . Consider the historic Blizzard of 2022 in Buffalo, New York, where nearly 40 people died over a span of three days. Climate scientists have linked the intensity and frequency of storms to climate change (Pignotti et al., 2021), including extreme winter storms. In a city already fractured over racial and class segregation, over-policing of poor neighborhoods, and a city government that has a sordid history of ignoring racial injustices, Buffalo’s blizzard has only added fuel to the fire (Haq & Schindel, 2018; Miles et al., 2021) . Although Black people make up only 14 percent of the population of Erie County and 33 percent of Buffalo’s population, they were overrepresented and accounted for 51 percent of the blizzard deaths in the county (Sacks, 2022) . It should be abundantly clear that we need to improve how we educate, prepare for, and advocate for climate justice.  \nThe disproportionate number of deaths in the Black community from Buffalo’s blizzard highlights the ways in which climate catastrophes and racial injustices are inextricably linked. Why did the Buffalo blizzard claim the lives of a disproportionate number of members of our Black community? Community leaders contend that structural issues—such as food deserts, inadequate housing, poverty, limited public transit options, and government disinvestment—heightened the vulnerability of low-income Black and Brown communities during the storm (Sacks, 2022) . Environmental and climate injustices have cultivated a disproportionate impact on low-income communities and communities of color, who pay the cost with their health and lives both locally and globally (Bullard, 1991; Schindel et al., 2022; Schlosberg and Collins, 2014) . Responses to storms can reveal the community’s resilience and preparedness, issues which are increasingly necessary due to the increase in climate-related severe weather events.  \n© 2023, Schindel et al.

Current Issues in Comparative Education 25(2), 100-107 .  \nRacializing Climate Justice in/for Education  \nHowever, resilience and preparedness are also associated with historic legacies of housing segregation and neighborhood redlining (Cusick, 2020) . For example, industries that release toxic air pollution have been intentionally situated in communities of color over decades (Bullard, 1991) . In addition, historically redlined neighborhoods are associated with the prevalence of cancer, asthma and other poor health indicators (Nardone et al., 2020) and are hotter than those that were not redlined in nea","cbCaishi9hK8WaXf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaishi9hK8WaXf","pdf",152796,"English","# Introduction\n## Defining Climate Justice\n## Racializing Climate Justice in/for Education","[{\"question\":\"Why does the article call for racializing approaches to climate change teaching?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that separating climate and racial injustices leaves the climate justice movement disproportionately white and without a strong racial analysis of how people of color and low-income communities are affected.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Buffalo blizzard used to support the argument?\",\"answer\":\"The text links the event’s disproportionate Black deaths to structural drivers such as food deserts, inadequate housing, poverty, limited public transit options, and government disinvestment, showing how climate catastrophes and racial injustices are intertwined.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the article say resilience and preparedness must account for?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that resilience and preparedness are shaped by historic legacies like housing segregation and neighborhood redlining, which contribute to higher exposure to harms such as toxic air pollution and extreme heat.\"}]","Current Issues in Comparative Education (CICE) - Volume 25 - Issue 2 - Special Issue 2023 - Racializing Climate Justice in/for Education | PDF",1792090540]
