To start pageClimate Justice
Climate change is one of the central ethical and political challenges of our time. Millions of lives and livelihoods are threatened by the rapidly escalating climate crisis. It means more poverty, more marginalization, more migration, and more refugees — with growing resource conflicts and nationalist tendencies as a result, especially in the societies of the Global North.
To slow down climate change in a way that ensures that those who bear most of the historical responsibility also bear most of the costs, we must fundamentally transform our economies and societies. To fight for climate justice in an unjust world, much needs to happen on all political scales: Globally, in the UN’s COP climate change negotiations and other international forums. Nationally, in the struggle for more ambitious climate targets and effective policy mechanisms. And regionally, in the manifold debates over new kinds of economies and new ways of living together.
