Union of Justice report: Why racial justice should be at the core of Europe’s climate action

I have had the opportunity last year to contribute to a novel, ground breaking research conducted by the Union of Justice, a European, independent, people of colour (POC) led organisation dedicated to racial justice and climate justice.
