✨ Climate justice and social justice are two facets of the same issue🌏   Climate justice addresses inequalities worsened by environmental impacts. Social justice tackles systemic disparities that climate change exacerbates. They require inclusive approaches to address systemic inequalities and vulnerabilities.   Commoning current initiatives address both. Two projects are dedicated to advancing disability-inclusive climate action and advocating for legislative changes. A Commoning benchmark maps existing tools to better understand one’s social positioning, privileges and oppressions. Together, these efforts contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future.   👉 The whole Commoning's equinox newsletter is available on its blog: https://lnkd.in/eeYXsNDU   #SocialJustice #ClimateJustice #Inclusion #DisabilityRights #Intersectionality

Learning collective care to support young climate justice advocates | Open Access Kylie Wrigley, Georgia Beardman, Jaime Yallup Farrant, Naomi Joy Godden, Caleb Faulkner Hill, Emma Heyink, Eva Carot Collins, Hannah Davies & Shelby Robinson Pages: 1-17 | DOI: 10.1080/13504622.2024.2359457 Abstract Young people mitigate their climate distress, develop their efficacy, and contribute to the effectiveness of climate movements through activism. However, they are often excluded from adult-led climate movements and exposed to a number of risks when they do participate. In this context, this participatory action research study draws on multiple care theories to offer collective care praxis through which adults and young people might co-create more care-full and safe climate justice movements capable of supporting, sustaining, and sharing power with young people. The study examines how 13 young and three adult co-researchers learned about and applied collective care through a youth climate justice training program in Western Australia. The program enabled young people to engage with climate emotions, identify care practices, and map support networks. Furthermore, the study developed three practices for adult-led climate movements engaging with young people: Responding to intersectionality with active solidarity, child safeguarding, and building care-full community coalitions. We conclude that a collective care praxis offers organisers and activists in all their diversities an opportunity to prefigure more care-full and just climate movements. #climatejustice #youthactivism #care #support #networks #climateaction #SDG3 #SDG13 #SDG16 https://lnkd.in/g6zWhgxv

What goes into climate justice? 🌏 Well, as it turns out, a lot! The CJ Map team are often asked how we define climate justice. The answer is simple, we're guided by how the organisations working on the ground in the Global South define their climate justice work. 📍 It can sometimes be restrictive to work under a concrete definition of climate justice, as this can mean that its many intersections get overlooked. Here at the CJ Map, we recognise that social justice and climate justice work often go hand in hand. Organisations working on issues such as LGBTQIA+ rights, land use, racial justice, or food sovereignty, are also focused on contributing to a climate-just future. To make it even easier for you to search through our database of 1,600+ organisations, we've constructed a list of 28 key searchable terms. These key terms are based on the work that many of our mapped organisations are carrying out, self-identified as climate justice work. 🌏 Visit climatejusticemap.org to search through our database using these key terms. 👨💻 #ClimateJusticeMap #climatejustice #justtransition #database

Continuing our discussion beyond just the first pillar, Mitigation-Focused (Building), to achieve climate goals, looking into fostering resilience-focused (people) initiatives is also key. Let's delve into one of the key areas of focus for this pillar. Culture, Equity, and Justice Goals: Education serves as a cornerstone for advancing climate knowledge among young people and communities. Through schools and grassroots advocacy, we can empower future generations with the knowledge and tools needed to address climate challenges effectively. Benefits to disadvantaged communities are also integral to our resilience efforts. Engaging with marginalized communities and amplifying their voices regarding sustainable development projects is crucial. We must advocate for equitable access to renewable energy, public health services, and other benefits of sustainable development to ensure no one is left behind. Let's champion culture, equity, and justice in our resilience efforts, striving for a future where all communities thrive. #ClimateResilience #Equity #Justice #ClimateEducation

Education plays a crucial role in promoting climate justice by raising awareness about the unequal impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities and empowering individuals to take action. By integrating climate justice into educational curricula, we can foster a sense of responsibility, empathy, and advocacy for environmental and social equity.

🌍 Today is #EarthDay, a special day when we ALL should care about our planet, especially young people! ➨ Here's why I think young people should lead the way in protecting our environment: 💚 Our planet is our future: As young people, we'll be affected by the choices made by older generations. It's up to us to make things better! 💚 Environmental justice: Climate change hits young people and marginalized communities the hardest. We must speak up for climate justice and work to address inequalities. 💚Together, we can do a lot: Earth Day shows us that if we all work together, we can solve big problems and make the world a better place for everyone. 💚 Share in the comments why we need more youth engaged in environmental advocacy!

In this video, elder Nnimmo Bassey shares insights on the need for radical love for youth development and overall well-being in our societies. True change stems from love for humanity, all living beings, and other elements that make our planet. #ClimateEldersNG aims to bridge intergenerational gaps by amplifying the wisdom of our elders who have dedicated themselves to environmental advocacy and activism. #SustyVibes #ClimateEldersNG #Climateaction #interngenerationallearning

I've recently completed the 'Climate Change and Human Rights' course by Amnesty International. This eye-opening course has deepened my understanding of the intricate link between climate change and human rights. I've learned how climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable communities, exacerbates inequality, and threatens basic human rights like access to clean water, food, and shelter. I'm committed to applying this knowledge to advocate for climate justice and protect human rights. Let's work together to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all! #ClimateChange #HumanRights #Sustainability"

Equity and inclusion are fundamental values, and we believe in dignity, fairness, and equal opportunity for all human beings. Because systemic discriminatory policies and practices have created a system that is neither equitable or equal opportunity, we intentionally partner with black- and brown-led organizations working directly in their communities to support those most affected by climate change. #mlkday #environmental justice #equity
