🌍 Climate change is separating the haves from the have-nots — faster than sea levels are rising.

💸 If you can afford to adapt, you survive.

🌪️ If not, you suffer.

This isn’t sustainable. It’s criminal.

Climate Inequality: Who Can Afford to Adapt?

From cooling to insurance, climate adaptation is a luxury. Class and race shape who survives the heat and who’s left behind.

Across the UK, fair #taxes on the use of #privatejets and #superyachts could raise up to £2 billion a year for #climateaction and incentivise those who use them to stop. The #UKGovernment has the responsibility and the opportunity to take the bold action needed to tackle #climateinequality and create a fairer, more sustainable future for everyone.

The fight against the climate crisis must not increase inequalities

The ecological transition can sometimes work to the detriment of marginalized communities. Any approach to climate action must take issues of equity and justice into account.

While human activities cause emissions of a number of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO₂) stands out as the leading culprit.

What happens after net zero? The impacts will play out for decades, with poorest countries still feeling the heat

We can’t prevent continued global warming without reaching net zero carbon dioxide emissions. New climate simulations show what might happen when we get there.

I keep seeing this article in my feed, and that's good, because everyone should see this article in their feed.

Richest 1% account for more #CarbonEmissions than poorest 66%, report says

"The most comprehensive study of global #ClimateInequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all #CO2 emissions in 2019."
