Climate Action Meets Social Justice: Designing Public Policies That Address Global Warming and Promote Sustainable Development
Abstract
Global warming represents an urgent crisis requiring immediate action. According to the IPCC's latest report, human-induced climate change is causing widespread disruption to nature and affecting billions worldwide, with vulnerable populations bearing the heaviest burden. While multiple feasible solutions exist to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, immediate action is crucial for securing a liveable future. The challenge of addressing climate change is intrinsically linked to social justice and sustainable development. Marginalized communities, often having the least resources to adapt, face disproportionate impacts from rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and food insecurity. Effective climate policies must therefore embrace climate justice principles while ensuring a just transition for workers in carbon-intensive industries. Success requires integrating climate action with broader sustainable development goals, including poverty alleviation, food security, and gender equality. By pursuing these synergies, policymakers can maximize benefits.
