Climate injustice

Climate injustice

What the climate catastrophe has to do with capitalism, racism and sexism (subtitle)

How just can a world be in the climate crisis?

Climate change does not affect us all equally. Friederike Otto uses eight extreme weather events to provide concrete examples of what the real causes are, who is particularly affected and, above all, what climate justice actually means and what still needs to be done to achieve it. Climate change is not destroying humanity, but human lives and livelihoods. We marvel at record temperatures, wind speeds and rainfall, but ask ourselves too little about who is particularly exposed to them, who cannot recover - and why. Inequality and injustice are at the heart of what makes climate change a problem for humanity. Fairness and global justice must therefore also be at the heart of the solution. Climate justice is everyone's business.
