Preferred term

climate change and global justice  

Definition

  • Climate change and the pursuit of global justice are vitally linked: Those who are most responsible for human-induced climate change are typically not those who are the most vulnerable and who experience detrimental impacts of those changes in the climate. Historically, environmental movements for global justice have sought to contest environmental degradation, as well as collective human disenfranchisement from the factors and institutions that give rise to, and perpetuate, unjust conditions.
