A BIGGER PICTURE: THE URGENT CALL FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE

Subbulakshmi G. and Kalamani S.

Abstract

Climate change has altered the life of every individual on Earth. One might find the heavy torrents during summer season as unusual or be bewildered at the sudden emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases; both are an effect of the climate crisis that requires immediate attention and impressive action. It is pivotal to understand that every change seen in the environment is either directly or indirectly interlinked with climate change. The study of climate emergency is instrumental to understand the need for climate safety and save the lives of the future generation on Earth. Apart from environmental issues, other social injustices such as racism, discrimination and gender-based violences also have their roots in climate crisis. Thus, climate safety is essential not only for the preservation of the environment but also for accentuating the holistic development of the globe.
