Climate change is a social crisis. It’s already having devastating social impacts in the Global South — from forced migration to poor health outcomes to food insecurity — and it’s making its way north, too. Social and environmental problems are inextricable. It’s antithetical to social impact work to ignore the climate crisis, and to fail to take action on it. How can we merge social impact work and climate action, before it’s too late?
