We Launches Global “Climate Justice for All” Campaign to Address Environmental Inequities

We have formally started the “Climate Justice for All” campaign, an international initiative to address how underprivileged populations are disproportionately affected by climate change. By offering resources, information, and advocacy tools to communities facing the climate catastrophe, this effort aims to empower them to demand action from policymakers.
The campaign focuses on four key pillars:

• Advocacy for Environmental Justice: Collaborating with grassroots organizations and human rights organizations to promote more robust climate policies that prioritize the needs of marginalized groups, such as women, low-income communities, and indigenous peoples.
• Legal Action: Aiding in the filing of lawsuits against governments and businesses that exacerbate climate injustice and environmental damage.
• Education & Awareness: Starting international educational initiatives at colleges and universities to increase knowledge of the connections between social inequality and climate change. Additionally, the campaign will organize webinars with leaders in climate justice and create digital toolkits.
• Community Resilience Projects: Putting in place community-led projects that emphasize climate adaptation and resilience, such as building flood barriers, programs for drought-resistant agriculture, and sustainable energy projects in impacted areas.

Maria Kim, Director of Environmental Justice, stated that “Climate change is not just an environmental issue—it’s a human rights issue.” “Our campaign is about ensuring that the voices of those most affected by climate change are heard and that they have the tools to advocate for their rights.”

The campaign will kick off with a global summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, in November 2024, where climate justice leaders will come together to share strategies and solutions for addressing environmental inequities.
