US Climate and Health Alliance

Our People, Our Planet, Our Power

Abstract

Over nine months, Puget Sound Sage and Got Green set out to learn how our communities were experiencing climate change. Led by the Climate Justice committee, we interviewed 175 people living in South Seattle/King County and 30 organizations with the goal of determining our collective priorities and lift up the message that poor people and people of color are often hit first and worst by the impacts of climate change. Our People, Our Planet, Our Power—Community Led Research in South Seattle has shaped our conversations with community, the public sector, and organizational partners as well as the development of the policy recommendations put forth in this report.
