Campaign for Climate Equity - Climate JUSTICE!
This is Global Exchange’s Climate Justice blog. We’ve reached the conclusion that climate change is a lot like the other issues we work on in one very important respect. It is simply not possible to solve our most daunting problems without also creating a just society. Without justice, there can be no strong, fair climate solution. Let’s build a just, sustainable world together!

We know that the world has reached a tipping point in its ability to absorb the harmful impacts of unsustainable resource use, economic greed, and militarism. This planet-wide crisis is the defining issue of our time and a keen reminder that there are no single issues: global problems are interrelated and so are smart solutions.
