.TheReidOut Blog: 'The U.S. has placed Black and brown communities at a disadvantage in fighting the climate crisis. That must be fixed.'
from the ground in New Orleans reveal what we have long known: The climate calamity isn’t being felt equally.
Specifically, the differing outcomes for whites and nonwhites facing the onslaught of climate crises is increasing calls to address long-standing racial inequalities in housing and infrastructure.The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, which keeps a global count of the number of people forced to move within their countries because of natural and human-made disasters,
that more than 1.7 million people in the U.S. were displaced by climate-related disasters last year alone.published this year by the Urban Institute found that most of the displaced are people with low incomes and that a large number of them are nonwhite. That same study also found that the U.S. government routinely neglects responsibility for resettling those forced to move because of climate disasters.
“On rare occasions, communities have accessed FEMA funds to help meet perceived demands on city services after people have moved there because of a disaster or an environmental hazard, although these resources are short-lived,” the study found.That neglect would be offensive enough on its face, but it is worsened by the fact that most of the Black and brown people suffering greatest from climate change aren’t the ones most responsible for climate change.
