When talking about climate justice issues, mainstream organisations and environment groups provide resources with facts and stats about climate. These can be useful, but it’s also important to note that people tend to relate more to emotional stories than facts.
Very little information is specifically focused on the issue of climate JUSTICE, or how marginalised groups may be impacted. It’s useful to have accurate information, however, so here are some resources to start with.
