Abstract
It is speculated that there is a link between climate change, covid-19 and environmental injustice, three of the major problems the world presently faces. This paper explores that link and examines ways that understanding this link might be used to address, and possibly solve, these issues. Focusing on climate change solutions, I devised and conducted an informal survey of some of my fellow students and friends based on the idea that fighting climate change can lead to reducing future pandemic risks. In analyzing this data, I found that these University of Minnesota students believe that there is a lack of awareness regarding the implementations of climate change solutions by both society and the government.
