Making a case for action
Some of the evidence is collated in the presentation (Why climate justice matters, right) developed by the University of Manchester with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which helps to set out the arguments for action. The slides identify issues and related evidence which can be used and adapted to support your own case for action.
The Climate Just website provides a whole range of further material which helps to explain some of the climate justice issues in a UK context and suggest possible responses to help address inequities. In brief, it:
- looks at responsibility for carbon emissions and how energy policy affects different households Who emits most?
- analyses current fuel poverty and energy vulnerability and possible responses. What can be done to tackle fuel poverty?
- identifies which people and places are most vulnerable to the direct impacts of extreme weather, with maps of the areas that face particular disadvantage due to flooding or heat in England. Who is vulnerable?
- highlights actions that could be taken to adapt and build local resilience.
