What Is the Climate Justice Charter? (3:44)

While the climate crisis is regarded as an environmental issue, it is also deeply rooted in an unsustainable economic system, with those contributing least to the climate crisis paying the highest price.
The Climate Justice Charter is a movement that believes that taking care of the Earth is about every decision and action we make as a collective.
The goal is to come together to build solutions that work for everyone.
The Climate Justice Charter has seven key climate justice principles:

1. respecting and protecting human rights

2. empowering all voices

3. acting equitably, rather than equally

4. opposing any form of discrimination

5. using education for climate stewardship

6. creating effective partnerships

7. ensuring local to global connections
