Title: Chapter 9: Human Health from "Climate Change Impacts in the United States: The Third National Climate Assessment"
Description: Chapter 9 of the landmark 3rd National Climate Assessment deals with human health impacts of climate change. Taking climate change as a global public health issue, the chapter states: "Key drivers of vulnerability include the attributes of certain groups (age, socioeconomic status, race, current level of health – see Ch. 12: Indigenous Peoples for examples of health impacts on vulnerable populations) and of place (floodplains, coastal zones, and urban areas), as well as the re-silience of critical public health infrastructure. Multi-stressor situations, such as impacts on vulnerable populations following natural disasters that also damage the social and physical infrastructure necessary for resilience and emergency response, are particularly important. Discusses heat stress in general, not as an occupational hazard.

Title: Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Justice
Description: As climate change continues to grow and impact our world, so does the response from activists across the world. Climate justice activists take many forms and employ many strategies to effect change in policy of or public opinion on greenhouse gas emissions. Through York University's Academic Innovation Fund dedicated to creating open source, publicly available course content, we've created 6 video segments interviewing grassroots climate justice activists from Toronto, a city with many climate justice organizations and efforts. Here we interview land defenders and organizers Cricket Guest (Instagram: @cricket.guest) and Sam Wong (Instagram: @luvthemutt). We'll discuss the importance of recognizing colonial violence, traditional knowledge, land stewardship, and Indigenous leadership for effective climate justice and action. You can watch the live-recorded Zoom video interviews or read the transcripts recorded in Summer 2020.

Title: The black snake in Sioux country showing the Dakota Access Pipeline reroute through Unceded Treaty lands and its consequences
Description: Map features two pipeline access routes, and identifies population affected by either route. Current pipeline reroute traverses Unceded land held by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota. The archaeological sites that were unlawfully destroyed, sacred sites located on Sioux land, and the watershed that supplies their drinking water, are noted. Initial pipeline route indicated on the map approaches the identified "Majority-White community" of Bismarck, North Dakota, and the route was altered upon their protest.
