The Latino Climate Justice Framework (LCJF) provides a blueprint that Latino/a/xs across the country can turn to as they advocate for climate solutions in their communities. The framework is divided into three chapters that cover issues like improving the transportation and electrical grid system, cleaning up abandoned oil wells, boosting community resilience, increasing equitable access to nature, comprehensive immigration reform, and more. The goal is to outline the common interests and perspectives of Latino/a/x communities in the climate policy discourse and provide a vision of how climate and environmental justice solutions can adequately respond to the unique problems and needs faced by Latino/a/x communities across the nation.
Latino/a/x communities are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis and face barriers to accessing clean energy, clean transportation, and climate resilient infrastructure. The framework outlines solutions to address these disparities, including investing in community-based renewable energy, protecting farmworkers, providing equitable access to water infrastructure, and ensuring Latino/a/x representation in decision-making processes.
