Over the last three decades, numerous studies have concluded that African American, Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and working-class White communities are disproportionately exposed to environmental harms and climate risks. Several states have initiated litigation to address this environmental and public health issue. In this episode, Barry E. Hill and Emily Bergeron discuss their April 2024 ELR article Climate Justice Litigation in the United States—A Primer and explore how states and tribes can learn from Kivalina.   ★ Support this podcast ★

Brian and Marjorie Paust have committed their lives to serving Alaskan communities as educators since the early 1970s. Their dedication and enthusiasm are impressive, as are their tales of life in the Arctic. In this interview, they speak about their early years in Kivalina, a village on the Chukchi sea, where they opened a high school for local children. They also tell of the birth of their son Nathaniel in Kotzebue during a blizzard on Christmas Eve.

Three blockbuster storms struck different coasts this weekend, causing widespread damage in Puerto Rico, Alaska and Japan. Their damage offers examples of what we can expect more of in a rapidly warming world. In Alaska: The most intense storm ever recorded in the Bering Sea during the month of September blasted communities across a 1,000-mile stretch of Alaska's western coastline with hurricane-force winds and record storm surge flooding. The villages hit include names familiar to the climate community for being vulnerable to erosion and seeking to move to higher ground, such as Kivalina and Shishmaref. Severe flooding was also seen in Nome, the endpoint of the Iditarod sled dog race. The flooding there beat any seen since November 1974. By battering already vulnerable coastal communities, the storm will make them more susceptible to the Bering Sea's notorious winter storms. In Puerto Rico: Hurricane Fiona struck on Sunday, causing an island-wide blackout that illustrates the country's challenges with repairing its electrical grid in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017. Hardening infrastructure against increasingly potent extreme weather events is a major challenge facing the U.S. At one point Sunday evening, nearly the entire island was under a flash flood warning, with "catastrophic" flooding underway. In Japan: Typhoon Nanmadol, the country's fourth-most intense typhoon to make landfall, struck the island of Kyushu on Sunday morning eastern time. The storm dropped more than two feet of rain in 24 hours on parts of that island, threatening to cause landslides, along with wind and storm surge flooding. Climate change is enabling hurricanes and typhoons to dump more rainfall and stay stronger further north. Prior to its landfall, the storm had rapidly intensified — a process with climate change ties and reached Category 4 intensity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the age of 23, new bride Deanne Burch accompanied her husband, Ernest “Tiger” Burch, to the Inuit village of Kivalina, Alaska, a barrier island 83 miles above the Arctic Circle. Tiger was conducting a study of the natives, but Deanne, a naïve city girl, was completely unprepared for what she was about to experience. Tiger would say that what happened to them was bad luck. Deanne calls it destiny. In Journey Through Fire and Ice: Shattered Dreams Above the Arctic Circle, Deanne recounts in vivid detail her unforgettable story of the months spent in a remote Inuit (Inupiaq) village. “I think when something happens — the tragedy that happened to us in Alaska — you always live on the edge of it. You never forget what really happened,” Deanne said in a recent interview. In Kivalina, Deanne lived on the edge of two worlds — the one she left behind and the one where she reluctantly participated in all aspects of the women's lives. Skinning seals, cleaning and drying fish, and cutting beluga and caribou to store became her way of life. Plumbing, running water and electricity were not available. Loneliness was a constant companion until a few women befriended her. During a span of six days, Deanne and Tiger narrowly escaped death during a camping trip, and Tiger suffered severe burns from a fire in their house. He spent three months in the hospital receiving treatment for seared lungs and horrific burns on his face and hands. His lungs never recovered from this ordeal. When he was finally released from the hospital, he returned to the village with Deanne to complete the study. The life-threatening and harrowing experiences in Alaska transformed Deanne into a woman of strength who learned how to embrace challenges. Over 50 years later, she remembers that young girl who left on an unknown journey that will live in her heart forever. Author Deanne Burch was born and raised in Canada and attended the University of Toronto, obtaining B.A. degrees in liberal arts and social work. After the Alaska journey, she and her husband eventually settled in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, where they lived until his death. Deanne spent 30 years as a professional international photographer who taught and lectured in the U.S. and Canada. She published several articles in photography magazines and journals. Since retiring in 2014, she devoted herself to writing short stories and children's stories. Journey Through Fire and Ice: Shattered Dreams Above the Arctic Circle was published in March 2021.

This episode of Big Blend Radio features photographer Deanne Burch, who talks about her life in Alaska, where she lived about the Arctic circle with her husband Tiger. It's all documented in her memoir “Journey Through Fire and Ice: Shattered Dreams Above the Arctic Circle.” At the tender age of 23, a naïve but very much in love Deanne Burch did what all good wives were expected to do in the 1960s: she put the needs of her husband first. She accompanied Tiger to a remote, Inuit (Inupiaq) village in Kivalina, Alaska, where Tiger was conducting research for his Ph.D. To say that the environment and living conditions were harsh would be a considerable understatement. In "Journey Through Fire and Ice," Deanne pours her memories onto paper, immortalizing in vivid detail their experiences on the barrier island 83 miles above the Arctic Circle, including the ways in which the Inupiaq people supported the Burches throughout both exhilarating triumphs and agonizing tragedies.

After 28 years in the health care business, Dr. David Wilcox has seen enough to realize that it truly is a “business,” as opposed to the kind-hearted healing service that most of us might imagine it to be. His new book reveals some unsettling facts. There is little or no transparency about hospital procedures so that the average health care consumer doesn't know how to access the healthcare system when they need it. He believes in proactive patient education and shares information, facts and tips that can help patients and family members navigate through the morass.

Colleen Swan and the members of the indigenous Iñupiat community who live on Kivalina, climate change isn't a remote abstraction. It's an emergency that's threatening their lives now.

Today, we're talking about climate litigation against private companies and the implications for China. We have recently seen the burgeoning of climate-related law-suits, including earlier ones such as Kivalina v. ExxonMobil in 2009, and more recent cases in Norway against oil drilling in the Arctic, and the case of New York City v. Chevron. There's also an on-going case against BP in the UK right now filed by ClientEarth UK. In today's podcast, we'll discuss the case in the Netherlands brought by Friends of the Earth against Royal Dutch Shell. On May 26, the court ordered Shell to reduce its CO2 emissions by 45% by 2030 (with 2019 as a base level). The court stated that Shell's climate policies were “not concrete and are full of conditions...that's not enough.” This is a second monumental verdict issued by the district court in the Hague, after the Urgenda Case, brought by the Urgenda Foundation and Dutch citizens against the government of the Netherlands, which was decided in 2018. Today we have two guests from ClientEarth China to talk about this judgement and issues beyond: Dimitri de Boer and Boya Jiang. Dimitri de Boer is the head of ClientEarth China, one of China's most prominent environmental cooperation experts. Before joining ClientEarth, He previously led the EU – China Environmental Governance Programme from 2010 to 2015. Dimitri worked as senior adviser on environment and climate change for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization in China for 12 years. He also worked as a consultant for the World Bank, European Union, and the Chinese government. Dimitri volunteers as vice-chairman of the Board of China Carbon Forum, an independent platform which aims to foster trust and cooperation among China's stakeholders for climate action. Boya Jiang is the Nature and Climate Lawyer at ClientEarth, a charity focusing on advancing environmental governance and rule of law. Boya is a legal expert and she holds a Magis Juris degree in law from the University of Oxford. At present, Boya is focusing on how to promote the environmental rule of law to help resolve issues related to biodiversity and climate change.

What are the options for people who are forced to move due to floods, droughts, heat waves, melting ice and extreme storms? What happens when entire States, such as low-lying islands in the Pacific, lose territory due to these and other impacts of climate change? The communities most impacted are increasingly being forced to flee within and across national borders. However, they are not protected under most national immigration schemes; nor do they qualify as refugees under international law. Two countries, including Finland and Sweden, recently abolished humanitarian protection clauses that protected individuals unable to return to their countries of origin due to environmental disasters. A United States Court rejected a claim from the Native Alaskan town of Kivalina for compensation due to territory loss, which is forcing the town to relocate. While New Zealand is reportedly drafting a climate change refugee scheme, the Supreme Court denied protection and deported a Kiribati national seeking asylum due to environmental reasons. Most recently, though, two Italian courts decided to protect two people fleeing environmental disasters. In this episode, we assess the current legal framework for persons displaced and territories disappearing in the context of climate change, and call on the international community to advance legal mechanisms for mitigation and adaptation. Many thanks to Dr. Joseph Foukona (University of the South Pacific Law School), Dr. Michael Gerrard (Columbia Law School) and Dr. Chiara Raucea (Tilburg Law School) for their generous contributions to the episode; ELSA Tilburg for organizing the climate change lecture serious; and Dr. Phillip Paiement and Dr. Anna Marhold for their research guidance.

Dr. Shearer is the author of Kivalina: A Climate Change Story (2011, Haymarket Press). Dr. Shearer discusses how climate change is forcibly displacing this community that has agreed to a community relocation over 20 years ago. However, no federal resources are available to facilitate this relocation. Dr. Shearer also addresses a lawsuit filed by the village of Kivalina against 24 fossil fuel companies, which was recently dismissed.

Our guest, Elizabeth Baker is an author and film producer. The film Elizabeth is working on now is about global warming. Creating this film led Elizabeth to a small village in Alaska. She learned that The small village of Kivalina is disappearing quickly due to the melting Artic ice caps. They may be refugees by 2025. we will be asking Elizabeth about her new book, The Gifts of Graditude
