Why is the concept of climate justice important?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Responsibility and impact are not equal
Climate justice recognises that countries and communities have contributed unequally to greenhouse-gas emissions and also face unequal risks from warming. Many vulnerable populations, including poor communities, small island states, and Indigenous peoples, may suffer severe impacts despite having contributed little historically. The concept therefore asks for fairness in responsibility, finance, adaptation support, participation, and protection of rights.
