How calls for climate justice are shaking the world © Getty Images
Young activists are breathing new life into the long-running debate over climate justice - the framing of global warming as an ethical issue rather than a purely environmental one.
When world leaders took to the (virtual) stage at President Biden s climate summit, they were given a gentle telling off by 19-year-old climate activist, Xiye Bastida. Solutions must be aligned with the fact that climate justice is social justice, she said, echoing the words of Greta Thunberg.

Harriet Lamb of the climate solutions charity, Ashden, says people have been talking about climate injustice for decades, but young activists are giving it new momentum. It has undoubtedly changed the agenda, she says.
For her, climate justice is about making sure we address historic injustices over emissions, including the carbon footprint of the wealthy, whose lifestyles have contributed most to global warming.
Around the same time, climate change disproportionately affects people who have contributed the least to greenhouse emissions and who have the fewest opportunities to address it because they are poor.
The world s most glaring inequality can be seen in the world s poorest nations, where residents who leave just a small carbon footprint are on the front lines of global chaos, from flooding to destroyed crops. However, there are warnings about carbon disparity even in affluent countries like the United Kingdom.
