Our Co-Director, Naomi Klein, UBC Professor in Climate Justice, has been named to Vancouver Magazine’s Power50 List, honouring Vancouverites making big, positive impacts on our communities. Congratulations to Professor Klein for this well-deserved recognition in championing fact over fiction. The Centre for Climate Justice is proud to be united in our collective strength to safeguard those most vulnerable amidst this historic polycrisis.
“We don’t choose our moment in history, we choose who we are in that moment”
From Vancouver Magazine:
“As founding co-director for the UBC Centre for Climate Justice, Naomi Klein has worked tirelessly to advance the changes necessary to combat the ongoing and escalating climate crisis. In her journalism work, she advocates for our future through columns in The Guardian and appearances on Democracy Now (an award-winning independent news hour). And while her recent, instant bestseller Doppelganger tackles a different topic—conspiracy theories, false narratives and the rise of misinformation—ultimately, all of her work aims to expose the truth of our world, and pushes audiences to confront the realities (for better or, usually, for worse) of the vulnerabilities in our social, economic and environmental systems. Her consistent mix of humour and biting truth makes even difficult subject matter approachable”.
