A movement that seeks equity in the response to climate change, considering the disproportionate impacts and unequal historical responsibilities. It recognizes that the consequences of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions unequally affect the most vulnerable and marginalized communities. Climate justice requires action to address inequalities, protect human rights and promote fairer and more inclusive societies. This involves ensuring the participation of affected communities in political and economic decisions, promoting just transitions to a low-carbon economy and holding accountable those who have contributed significantly to climate change.
