Extreme weather events—heatwaves, floods, wildfires—are no longer isolated disasters but symptoms of a deepening global climate crisis, disproportionately affecting the world’s poor and marginalized. I would argue that the climate emergency is inseparable from issues of economic justice and neocolonial exploitation. I would critique the continued reliance on fossil fuels by wealthy nations and corporations, and call for a radical restructuring of the global economy toward sustainability, reparations for climate-impacted communities, and a just transition for workers. I would emphasize the need for international solidarity, grassroots mobilization, and systemic change rather than market-based “green” solutions that leave inequality intact.
