UCLA law prof: ‘Hi-tech capitalist solutions’ for climate change are racist

A law professor at UCLA believes “hi-tech capitalist solutions” for the alleged climate-change crisis are “perpetuating racism.”

Tendayi Achiume (pictured), who’s finishing up her tenure as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, told The Guardian that “green solutions […] are being implemented at the expense of racially and ethnically marginalised groups and Indigenous peoples.”

These include electric vehicles, renewable energy and “the rewilding of vast tracts of land.”
