Intersectionality and Climate Justice




It's been a huge learning experience working with Cartoonstock / Cartoon Collections on 'Cartoonathons' where cartoonists get to work in conjunction with innovators, social scientists, and humanitarian aid workers from regions affected by social and climate crises, and create cartoons for use in multimedia and publications. These cartoons are for the Climate Justice Resilience Fund, on intersectionality and climate justice. Watching cartoons in action, breaking the ice, sparking conversations, stirring debates and leading the way to solutions has been a truly special process.
