The climate crisis is a complex, multi-faceted challenge. There are countless intersections between climate change and a range of other issues such as poverty, hunger, equality, employment, and sustainable land and water. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a useful framework for unpacking these linkages.

Covering a wide range of topics from refugee education and healing justice to energy efficiency and circular economy, this series draws on a wide range of knowledge and lived experience.
