Klimagerechtigkeit

Elias König / German / 2021 / 128 Pages

The climate crisis is more than just an environmental problem. In Climate Justice, it becomes clear how closely it is linked to social inequalities. This book examines how colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy have contributed to the development of the crisis and why marginalized groups are particularly hard hit by its consequences. It demands climate justice and shows how different social movements can fight together for a more just future.
