What is climate justice?
First in a series of booklets exploring climate breakdown and how we might respond.
Overview
The booklets curate resources from all over the world that explore climate justice. If you've ever wondered about what climate justice really means or how to practice it, these booklets and all the linked resources are for you! By joining us in this journey, you will deepen your understanding of climate justice, including learning about:
- practical examples of climate justice in action;
- the historical context of climate justice work;
- how a justice-based approach differs from other approaches to climate action.
Although the year has been designed with British Quakers in mind, we hope people of faith and anyone interested in climate action will join us in using the resources to explore what climate justice is and why it is important.
