An international study involving people from 11 countries has shown that most people, including those in the areas most affected by climate change, do not understand the concept of "climate justice". However, they recognize the social, historical and economic injustices that characterize the climate crisis. The findings could help create more effective communication and advocacy.<\/p>\n
The findings show that a basic recognition of the social, historical and economic injustices that characterize the climate crisis is common worldwide, even if people do not consciously connect this understanding with the concept of climate justice.<\/p>\n
Researchers found that two-thirds of people in these countries have never heard of climate justice. Most people surveyed supported beliefs related to climate justice, including that poorer people suffer worse from the effects of climate change (78 % agree), people from the most affected communities should have a greater say in decisions about climate change. (78 %) and that capitalism and colonialism are fundamental elements of the climate crisis (70 %). Endorsement of these climate justice beliefs was also positively associated with engagement in climate action and support for just climate policies.
