Climate justice links human rights and development…safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable and sharing the burdens and benefits of climate change and its resolution equitably and fairly.

Most vulnerable communities experiences are nuanced, and Indigenous peoples are witnessing such catastrophic climate variabilities while contributing next to nothing to the phenomenon that is causing the destruction. 

The climate crisis is a political, social, and ethical issue rather than a purely environmental one caused by an unsustainable extraction and economic model driven by unequally distributed wealth and power in the world exacerbating social and economic inequalities especially in indigenous and marginalized communities.

Our demand for energy justice focuses on the need for equity in the social and economic participation in the energy systems while remediating the social, economic, ecological, and health burdens of those disproportionately impacted by the energy systems.

Energy is a social and material construct negotiated and disputed through political, economic, and cultural processes. 

Our efforts are aimed at demanding safe, affordable, clean, and democratically managed energy for all communities, centering the concerns of historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities.
