“As the climate crisis worsens and intensifies, community-driven planning plays a vital role in building a future that is healthy, resilient and just for everyone,” said Samantha Hernandez, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility’s Healthy Climate Program director. “We are seeing social, economic and health inequities exacerbated as a result of fossil fuel-driven climate change. The solutions in this year’s Climate Justice Plan center the needs of those most impacted, which led to the collaborative creation of innovative goals and strategies rooted in the expertise and lived experience of frontline communities. There is a lot of work to do, but we have the plan to help guide us and measure accountability.”
