Abstract
This essay argues for racializing approaches to climate change education as essential to understanding and addressing climate injustices. Using the 2022 Buffalo Blizzard, which disproportionately impacted Black communities, as a case study, the authors demonstrate how extreme weather events intersect with racial inequities. They call on educators across disciplines to adopt a climate justice education framework and propose a transformative model for teaching climate justice through a racial equity lens.
