Our changing climate impacts our ecosystems\, with ramifications for biodiversity and the ecology of Earth’s critical zones. However\, ecosystems also play an essential role in mitigating climate change through ecosystem services\, including carbon sequestration through effective forestry. This topic discusses the ways ecosystems can be a tool for effective climate action and the ways in which we protect them. \n\n\n\n\nEnvironmental Justice & Climate Justice\n\n\nClimate change is a human and civil rights issue. Environmental injustice\, including climate change\, disproportionately affects communities of color and low-income communities. The Environmental Justice and Climate Justice topic incorporates anti-racism as an essential component of effective climate action while discussing the Black Lives Matter movement and global equality issues through the lens of climate change. \n\n\n\n\nCOVID-19 & Green Recovery\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally altered life on a global scale\, underscoring inequality and illustrating vulnerability to climate change. The COVID-19 and Green Recovery topic explores how equity and climate action can be incorporated into economic and societal COVID-19 recovery plans\, with emphasis on plans currently being enacted in Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:
