Here are six charts that help explain the challenges. I study the justice dilemmas presented by climate change and climate policies, and have been involved in international climate negotiations as an observer since 2009. To reduce climate change and protect those who are most vulnerable, it’s important to understand where emissions come from, who climate change is harming and how both of these patterns intersect with other forms of injustice. Often, the people suffering most from the effects of climate change are those who have done the least to cause it.
Climate change has hit home around the world in 2021 with record heat waves, droughts, wildfires and extreme storms.
