Climate justice

“If . . . we take an environmental justice approach to Anthropocene storytelling, we can better acknowledge the way human actors’ geo- and biomorphic powers have involved vast disparities in exposure to risk and access to resources” (Nixon 2017, 45).

“Let’s get back to the point: why bring art into the fight for climate justice? The reasons, despite any lingering scepticism, are overwhelming. . . . Art shakes people awake. It cuts through the cold, clinical data . . . It tells stories that make the crisis personal, immediate, and impossible to ignore” (Demos 2025, 37).

“Climate justice ensures fairness in avoiding, addressing, and repairing the causes and consequences of climate change, such as biodiversity loss and ecological breakdown. This must occur through an inclusive process that considers the interests, needs, risks, capabilities, power relations, opportunities, and limitations of all—both human and non-human—across time: past, present, and future” (Browne et al. 2026, 25).
