CLIMATE JUSTICE

- Climate Change and Global Inequality

Climate change and global inequality are interconnected. The impacts of climate change disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, exacerbating existing inequalities. Poor communities lack resources to adapt to climate change, and may become dependent on technology transfers and foreign aid, perpetuating the cycle of global inequality. Climate change can lead to increased migration and displacement, further marginalizing vulnerable communities. Addressing global inequality is essential for building resilience to climate change impacts and ensuring a just transition to a sustainable future.

- The Role of Social Justice in Addressing Climate Change Social justice is crucial for addressing climate change. It ensures fairness and equity in the distribution of costs and benefits of climate action, promotes inclusive decisionmaking, recognizes human rights, and addresses intersectional inequalities. Communityled solutions prioritize local knowledge and empowerment. Incorporating social justice principles into climate policies and programs can help build a just and sustainable future for all.
