Some personal news: I'm editing for the Guardian's America's Dirty Divide series and am looking for stories on environmental justice in the U.S. Journalists hit me up at brian.kahn@theguardian.com.
Some topics I'm particularly interested in are exploring hidden historical injustices, communities getting resiliency right, how IRA funding is meeting the Justice40 initiative (or isn't), and any efforts to make everyday climate tech accessible to everyone.
