Recently, the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Climate Action Task Force set forth to imagine academic knowledge production and sharing beyond the current conference model to address the ecological impacts of large-scale, conventional, in-person conferences. Building on provocations of Pulido’s (2002 Pulido, L. 2002. Reflections on a white discipline. The Professional Geographer 54 (1):42–49. doi: https://doi.org/10.1111/0033-0124.00313.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) paper “Reflections on a White Discipline,” this article seeks to ensure that racial justice is part of that imagining. There is much to be ecologically gained by moving toward smaller regional gatherings and large virtual conferences. Our task, however, is to assess the loss of mentorship, affirmation, and community found at the AAG Annual Meeting that sustains Black, Indigenous, and people of color geographers in the current climate of our discipline. We deploy the term climate for two reasons. First, climate refers to “toxic environments” of home institutions within which geographers of color often teach, research, and write (Mahtani 2014 Mahtani, M. 2014. Toxic geographies: Absences in critical race thought and practice in social and cultural geography. Social and Cultural Geography 15 (4):359–67. doi: https://doi.org/10.1080/14649365.2014.888297.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). We call on all geographers to contend with the epistemological, institutional, and individual actions needed to detoxify spaces and places of geography. Second, in pace with Pulido (2002 Pulido, L. 2002. Reflections on a white discipline. The Professional Geographer 54 (1):42–49. doi: https://doi.org/10.1111/0033-0124.00313.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), we argue that knowledge production on the climate crisis is enhanced when geography becomes a safer place for geographers of color. Action taken toward climate justice cannot happen without actions to achieve racial justice.

最近，美国地理学家协会 (AAG) 气候行动特别工作组着手设想超越当前会议模式的学术知识生产和共享，以解决大规模、传统、面对面会议的生态影响。建立在 Pulido 的挑衅之上（2002 年） 普利多，L. 2002 年。对白惩戒的思考。的 专业地理学54（1）：42 - 49。doi：https://doi.org/10.1111/0033-0124.00313。[Taylor & Francis Online]、[Web of Science ®]  、[谷歌学术]) 论文“对白人纪律的反思”，这篇文章旨在确保种族正义是这种想象的一部分。转向较小的区域聚会和大型虚拟会议可以在生态上获得很多好处。然而，我们的任务是评估在 AAG 年会上发现的指导、肯定和社区的损失，这些损失在我们学科的当前气候下维持了黑人、土著和有色人种地理学家。我们使用气候一词有两个原因。首先，气候是指有色人种地理学家经常在其中教学、研究和写作的家庭机构的“有毒环境”（Mahtani 2014 马塔尼，M. 2014 年。有毒的地理：社会和文化地理学中批判性种族思想和实践的缺失。社会和文化地理学15 (4): 359 - 67。doi：https://doi.org/10.1080/14649365.2014.888297。[Taylor & Francis Online]、[Web of Science®]  、[Google Scholar]）。我们呼吁所有地理学家应对为消除地理空间和地点的毒害所需的认识论、制度和个人行动。第二，与普利多（2002 普利多，L. 2002 年。对白惩戒的思考。的 专业地理学54（1）：42 - 49。doi：https://doi.org/10.1111/0033-0124.00313。[Taylor & Francis Online]、[Web of Science ®]  、[Google Scholar]），我们认为，当地理成为有色人种地理学家更安全的地方时，有关气候危机的知识生产就会得到加强。如果不采取行动实现种族正义，就不可能采取实现气候正义的行动。
