In 2020, the Southeast Climate and Energy Network (SCEN) along with the Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy (GCCLP), Kingdom Living Temple, and Dogwood Alliance spearheaded the project, Southern Communities for a Green New Deal (SCGND). We have found that while many people are talking about a just transition, very little has been done to make this a reality. As we transition from a carbon-based, extractive economy to a clean renewable energy and regenerative land-based economy rooted in justice and equity, those communities with a legacy of pollution and ecological destruction must not be left behind. Southern communities living on the fence-line and frontlines of environmental injustice and the climate crisis must be included in Green New Deal policies.
