3. Introduction to Climate Justice.

Climate Justice means recognizing that climate

change has

negative effects on most people in the world,

but

impacts the poor

and vulnerable the most – those who have done

the least to

contribute to the problem.

Climate justice says that we in wealthy

countries – and the wealthier among us – who

have benefited the

most from using fossil fuels, must do more of the

heavy lifting

to reduce our greenhouse gas (or carbon)

emissions. As well,

actions to address climate change and reduce

our

greenhouse gas

emissions must be implemented in a way that is

fair and just.

6. After Presentation Thoughts:

A commitment to climate justice is a way to ensure fairness for young people today and into the future, both here in BC and around the world.
Climate change is a big global problem, but there are lots of solutions. The key is getting people to work together to make change.
Climate action is often local. Young people in BC are concerned about climate change and are already advocating for climate justice. What can you do to help make a difference?
