Description

Intro

Climate justice is the moral and ethical principle that seeks to address the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities and future generations. It recognizes that the consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and resource scarcity, are not distributed equally, with marginalized and disadvantaged populations often bearing the brunt of these effects. Climate justice advocates for equitable solutions that prioritize the needs of those who are most affected by climate change, strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ensure that the burdens and benefits of climate action are distributed fairly, taking into account historical and systemic inequalities. Ultimately, climate justice calls for a more inclusive and sustainable approach to addressing the global climate crisis.

Description

The Climate Justice Global Alliance (CJGA) uses a youth-driven combination of education and activism to reduce global climate injustice, an aspect of SDG 13 under the UN Agenda 2030. This initiative aims to make changes in areas most impacted by climate change and environmental degradation through political activism and the distribution of original publications on climate justice and Earth sciences.
