Climate Justice
Climate justice is the environmental justice concept that the negative environmental and social impacts of global climate change should not disproportionately affect populations of people in developing countries and poorer nations while predominantly being fueled by wealthier industrialized nations. Climate justice seeks the acknowledgment that all human beings belong to an atmospheric commons and that equity within and between nations is necessary as a precursor for tackling climate change.
