Sheila Watt-Cloutier calls for humanizing climate issues
Climate change isn’t just about starving polar bears or melting ice, writes Sheila Watt-Cloutier. It is about human rights, human health, food security, poverty, loss of traditional knowledge, and global insecurity as traditional ways of life that are lost to glacier melt, coastal erosion, permafrost melt, rising seas, extreme drought, floods and violent weather.
