Climate change is a systemic issue, interconnected with social, political and economic factors, all of which drive its causes and effects.

We are overexploiting and damaging the ecosystems upon which we depend and losing biodiversity at an unprecedented rate. Climate change leads to biodiversity losses, which in turn leads to further climate change. We cannot solve one without the other.

The climate and nature crisis disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people and communities, those least responsible and less equipped to adapt to its consequences. Its impacts exacerbate the inequity and injustices in which this crisis is rooted. As such, climate justice needs to be an integral part of climate action.
