Climate

 

When it comes to climate, we’re now in the dangerous, uncharted territory scientists have been warning us about for decades. Meanwhile, biologists and toxicologists are sounding the alarm about surpassing the “planetary boundary” for chemical pollution, beyond which the ecosystems we’re all part of will fail. 

Climate change and chemical pollution are key components of the global “polycrisis,” and these two crises are interlinked in multiple ways. Both climate change and chemical pollution are driven by the fossil fuel industry, which continues to oppose and undermine the entirely feasible changes needed to protect people and the planet.  

The interlinked nature of these crises also offers an opportunity. Reducing production and use of petrochemicals will, without question, protect people’s health, address environmental injustices, and slow climate change. CHE is working to highlight solutions to these crises at every level, from the Global Plastics Treaty now under negotiation to the movement for Extended Producer Responsibility in statehouses across the US and more.
