We need to move on from thinking about Climate Change as an isolated issue that can be “solved” with surface level and technological solutions. We know that keeping global temperature rise below 1.5C requires ✨ transformational✨ change in our societies & economies. #DecolWeek

Climate Change is caused by human systems, and it magnifies injustices + inequities within them. #MovementPower4ClimateAction #DecolWeek #Decol4Climate

Colonisation is one of these oppressions, driving climate change by: 🌱 Harming #IndigenousPeoples who have lived in more sustainable relationships with lands & ecosystems for generations 💵 Imposing foreign economic systems on lands & communities where they are unfit #DecolWeek

Colonisation also drives #ClimateChange by... 🌳 Driving deforestation & biodiversity loss 📈 Enabling powerful countries to externalise costs of their over-consumption ❌ Militaries contributing significantly to carbon emissions #DecolWeek #MovementPower4ClimateAction

Climate Change can exacerbate Colonial harms in many ways, including by... 🌏 Changing distribution of “natural resources”, which may be used by countries & corporations to justify invading & extracting from others #DecolWeek @MovermentPower4ClimateAction

🙅🏽 Powerful countries that have already benefited from highcarbon development stop other countries from doing the same due to concerns about climate ✊🏽 Widening inequities for Indigenous/multiply marginalised communities who are hit first & worst by climate impacts #DecolWeek

Our own climate movements can perpetuate Colonialism by… - Speaking over Indigenous Peoples - Appropriating Indigenous Knowledge - Tokenising BIPOC for the appearance of diversity - Commodifying the suffering of frontline communities for campaigns and fundraising #DecolWeek

Climate action with policies that have not been informed by Indigenous Peoples risk: - “Green” Energy industries forcibly removing Indigenous Peoples from their territories - Consolidating power in institutions & governments that do not uphold #IndigenousRights #DecolWeek

I think a lot of people in social change spaces have a really colonial & extractive view of “community” where community = a group with shared characteristics that they can opt in or opt out of as it affords them utility and is a source of comfort.

This is a great thread on things that help ADHD & Autistic people in the workplace. If you don’t already - consider weaving some of these into your workplace’s systems and processes. Your neurodivergent team will thank you for it!
