Overview:
This module lasts approximately 25 minutes, with 15 minutes dedicated to the instructional content and 10 minutes for quizzes. It begins by outlining the IPCC’s definition of Climate Justice and its three core principles: Distributive Justice, Procedural Justice, and Recognition. The module then examines how disadvantaged populations are disproportionately impacted by climate change, with social and identity-based traits compounding these effects. It introduces intersectionality and Intersectional Environmentalism as critical frameworks for analyzing these challenges. The focus then shifts to awareness-raising and engagement, exploring generational differences in climate change beliefs and emotional responses. In the second half, the module explores strategies to foster citizen-driven climate action and participatory governance, featuring examples from the Adaptation AGORA project and other sources. Finally, a quiz tests the learner’s understanding and reinforces key concepts from the module.
