What to Expect

The False vs. Just Solutions series will run monthly (approximately) throughout 2025 with each session focusing on a critical issue and offering a deep dive into its environmental, social, and economic implications.

What Is a False Solution?

False solutions prioritize profit and convenience over environmental and social well-being. They often:

• Disproportionately harm low-income communities, Indigenous peoples, and communities of color.
• Prolong reliance on fossil fuels and unsustainable practices.
• Ignore safer, community-driven alternatives that align with climate justice principles.

Through this series, we’ll explore these dynamics and identify pathways toward authentic, just solutions.
