Terminology
Climate justice: Climate justice advocates for addressing the unequal impacts of climate change on marginalised or vulnerable populations. It aims to ensure a fair distribution of both the challenges posed by climate change and the measures taken to mitigate its effects.
Climate equity: Climate equity ensures the just distribution of the benefits of climate protection efforts and alleviates unequal burdens created by climate change.
Environmental justice: Fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
