WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) — James Fischer, co-chair of the new Climate Reality chapter of the Cape Fear region, joined Randy Aldridge on WECT News Now to discuss climate advocacy.

The Climate Reality Project Cape Fear chapter will serve New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender, Bladen, Columbus, and Harnett counties.

“The number one priority now is probably education,” Fisher said. “Get out in the community and raise the level, not so much of debate, but the level of discussion about these climate issues.”

The group plans to rely heavily on localized climate history and partner with local civil rights groups like the NAACP to tackle issues of environmental and climate justice. They will also launch specialized teams targeting day-to-day sustainability issues and host educational seminars
