This is the reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production and consumption.
Fossil Fuel Dependency
This is the advocating for the fair treatment of all people in climate policies and actions, emphasizing the need to protect those most vulnerable to climate impacts
Climate Justice
This is the differences in health outcomes and their determinants among population segments as defined by social, demographic, environmental, or geographic category.
Health Disparities
These types of emissions drive climate change, contributing to health issues and environmental degradation.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This is the transition of replacing fossil fuel-based systems with electric alternatives, which can reduce pollution.
Electrification
This is the long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions on Earth, primarily driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
Climate Change
This involves advocating for the equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens, promoting inclusive decision-making processes, and addressing historical and systemic inequities.
Environmental Justice
Climate Justice involves recognizing that climate change disproportionately affects what types of communities.
Marginalized Communities
This type of emission releases tiny particles into the air from sources such as vehicle exhaust and burning of fossil fuels.
Particulate Emission
This is when we shift away from energy systems that produce and emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Decarbonization
This is a condition where individuals or communities lack stable access to essential resources and services, such as housing, food, and healthcare
Material Instability
This is aimed at ensuring that all individuals have the legal right to clean air, pure water, and a healthy environment by providing a legal basis for challenging environmental harm
The Green Amendment
This involves implementing strategies and practices that enable communities, ecosystems, and economies to cope with and recover from the impacts of climate change
Adaptation
This a discriminatory practice by which banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions refuse or limit loans, mortgages, insurance, or other services within specific geographic areas, especially inner-city neighborhoods.
Redlining
This is the process that can reduce the speed of future climate change by reducing emissions of heat-trapping gases.
Mitigation
Climate Change has increased this kind of disaster.
Natural Disasters
This document is crucial for ensuring that the voices of marginalized communities are heard and that the potential environmental and health impacts on these communities are thoroughly considered and addressed before decisions are made
Environmental Impact Statement
This involves addressing social determinants of health, such as housing, education, and economic stability, and implementing inclusive health policies and practices.
Health Equity
This type of plan can lead to displacement and gentrification, affecting low-income and minority communities adversely.
Urban Renewal Plan
This involves implementing strategies and practices that enable communities, ecosystems, and economies to cope with and recover from the impacts of climate change.
Adaptation
The rise of this natural occurrence has led to increased flooding and salinization of freshwater resources.
Sea Levels
This type of justice seeks to ensure that all communities have access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy
Energy Justice
Addressing health disparities requires these types of policies and interventions that target the root causes of inequities.
