This week on Ours to Protect Max talks about Climate Justice.

Holding the government to account when it claims to be leading the way on emissions reductions without taking into account its historical contribution.

Making sure that solutions to the climate crisis do not amplify existing injustices but benefit the hardest hit first.

Providing international finance to support other countries emissions reductions and adaptations to climate impacts.

Supporting a just transition away from coal, oil and gas so that workers who depend on dirty industries aren’t left unemployed.

And crucially, actively listening to the voices of people from the global South, indigenous people and frontline communities and amplifying their voices.
