“We will all be affected by climate change.”

The truth is that some will face the impacts of this process much more than others. The consequences caused by climate change cut across race, gender, and social class. And women and girls are the most vulnerable group to the effects of climate change, with Black and Indigenous women being even more exposed.

Indigenous and traditional women are on the front lines, protecting the Amazon and precious water resources while facing the direct impacts of environmental destruction and climate change.

Climate justice represents a human view of the problem of climate change, recognizing that the groups most vulnerable to the impacts of environmental disasters are the least responsible for their causes.

It is essential that climate justice is achieved with gender equality, because a sustainable future depends on it.
