UNFOLDED: IPCC Report 2021

Future Impact, UNFOLDED / By

If you haven’t already heard, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), a body of the UN dedicated to finding information and statistics on how climate change is/will affect us, released their sixth assessment report. The previous report, which was released in 2013, warned the public on how climate change could affect us in the future; the report that was released this week this didn’t just warn us, but reminded us that we are experiencing the effects of climate change now, the same ones that we were warned about 8 years ago. Obviously we aren’t expecting you to read the full 1300 page report, so we took the liberty to break down the assessment into its key points so you can be informed without spending entire days reading. we gotchu 😉

Future Impact, Politics / By

Last month, President Biden signed legislation passed by a vast majority of lawmakers in both the House and Senate that made Juneteenth a national holiday in remembrance of the emancipation of slaves on June 19, 1865. There is a large consensus that this is a particularly important holiday to celebrate, especially as race increasingly becomes a topic of discussion in today’s day and age. We thought that to commemorate this holiday, we should add a unique spin and talk about the overlap between social justice and climate change: environmental justice.

Earth Day is not only important in raising awareness for environmental protection, but to also show how much we can harm our environment through poor industrial and social practices. By celebrating Earth Day, we not only show how much we care for our Earth, but also why we need to keep it clean for future generations.
