CLIMATE JUSTICE.

 In our fight for climate solutions and environmental justice, it's people just like you, on the ground, moving us toward a sustainable future.

The demand for climate justice comes from the fact that developing countries are responsible for 92 percent of the excess emissions that pushed the planet beyond a safe atmospheric Co2 concentration of 350 parts per million. 

Asia (excluding Israel) are responsible for just 8 percent. 

However climate justice is not about the inequality between countries but also within them. The world's richest 1.

Then there is the injustice of intergenerational impacts of Climate change. According to the World Bank,by the time teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg and her generation are in their late 20s climate change could force an additional 100 million people into extreme poverty. A report for the UNFCCC revealed that even if all Co2 emissions were stopped today,most of the Current effects of Climate change would persist for centuries, Therefore it is vital for climate justice to pursue a pathway to zero carbon emissions by 2050 to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees above pre-Industrial levels, and to minimise the adverse impacts of climate change on people, and their human rights. 

Ultimately, climate justice means that while all countries should participate in the drastic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the industrialised nations,which historically and currently are most responsible for global warming, should lead this transformation. 

It also means that World Bank,World Trade Organisation, and other multilateral agencies should halt their funding,and instead Foster the transformation to sustainable and equitable development based on clean organisation, and other multilateral agencies should halt funding, and promotion of fossil fuel based globalisation, and instead faster the transformation to sustainable and equitable development based on clean energy techniques 

Now more than ever,to achieve climate justice we have to ensure that the voices lived experience, and knowledge of minorities, and indigenous people are meaningfully heard by those in positions of power that can influence change.

Solutions must be aligned with the fact that climate justice is social justice.
