A happy ending? What can you do for climate justice?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have just seen in how many different ways governments, corporations, older generations, wealthy nations and the wealthy within each nation can contribute to climate justice.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u201c\n<\/td>\n Justice obligates us to assist with development, and climate requires us to do so in ways that avoid increasing emissions.<\/i>\n<\/td>\n \u201d\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

          \nRemember, there can be no climate justice without climate action, but not all climate action leads to climate justice. Climate action (see Modules 4, 6 and 7) alone is not enough; climate change solutions need to be equitable, fair and inclusive (see Module 5). Read that again:\n<\/p>\n

          Climate action needs to include solutions that are equitable, fair and inclusive.\n<\/p>\n

          That is climate justice.\n<\/p>\n
