The systemic racial and economic inequalities that worsen the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities around the globe.

The St. Croix neighborhood of Clifton Hill overlooks a quieted Limetree Bay Refinery on Tuesday, May 25 after a stack fire and massive oil flare caused a 60-day shutdown ordered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Clifton Hill residents, many of whom migrated to St. Croix from nearby Vieques, are no strangers to the refinery’s discharges under its previous owner, Hovensa. But the most recent shower of oil on their homes, cars, gardens and cisterns was the second in little over three months as the beleaguered 60-year-old refinery struggled to resume operations after an eight-year hiatus.
