Justice and fairness in global climate action

Members of the Asian Peoples' Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD) shout slogans during a demonstration, held on the sidelines of the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference COP27, to demand an action for the Loss and Damage financing.

In this episode of “Climate Sense,” Samantha Gross explores the issue of justice and fairness in global climate action. Many of the world’s poorest countries have contributed the least to existing greenhouse gases but are on the front lines of the changing climate. It is not enough to have science, knowledge, and resources. What is essential to climate justice is making sure that climate change is not an excuse to let the developing world shoulder the work and costs of reducing emissions.
