A coalition of international organizations argues that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an ineffective and dangerous 'distraction' that prolongs fossil fuel dependence, poses significant safety risks to marginalized communities, and lacks economic viability. The authors urge the Canadian and U.S. governments to end subsidies for CCS and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), instead investing in renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure.

A statement from the Center for International Environmental Law and numerous supporting organizations urging the United States and Canadian governments to reject carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, arguing they are a 'dangerous distraction' that prolongs fossil fuel reliance and poses significant risks to marginalized communities.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) asserts that recent voter suppression laws in 17 U.S. states disproportionately harm people of color and undermine democracy. WRI links voting rights to environmental justice, noting that marginalized communities—who face higher exposure to pollution and climate risks—require political representation to influence environmental policy.
