Climate justice futures will need to address historical marginalizations to mitigate emissions and pursue energy democracy, as well as to address the losses and damages created by the interaction of climate change and social inequality both currently and in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Emily is a graduate student in Geography at UCSB, a co-founder of the Climate Justice Project, and a member of 350 Santa Barbara.

Her\u00a0research and organizing focus is at the intersection of\u00a0climate impacts, extractivism, political ecology, accountability, and policy, all within a frame of climate justice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><div  style='height:40px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><a id=\"QA\"><\/a>Q &amp; A<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div  style='height:20px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/span><br \/>\nHave questions or comments?
