COMMUNITY
It is important for leaders working in sustainability and environmental fields who identify as migrants and/or who are part of migrant families to have a voice in impacting the sustainability solutions that are being created in these catalytic times. Migrant priorities are inherently important because our communities need active and unique representation in the green future to challenge ongoing exclusion. Migrants are also uniquely positioned to impact and catalyze solutions; we bring global and intersectional perspectives informed by our lived experiences and struggles, which are directly linked to the global processes impacting climate, environmental, and social issues. Moreover, many of us bring cultural connections to our home lands and embrace ancestral knowledge about caring for Mother Nature, and we have been leading efforts to heal our social-ecological relationships across borders. This is especially a pivotal time for centering migrant voices because climate changes are creating millions of migrants, and they are rapidly and disproportionately impacting migrants alongside other frontline communities. Migration is a key climate adaptation pathway, and migrants have key expertise central to mitigating risks, adapting to a changing climate, and ensuring the resilience of all people to come for generations to come.
