Overview

Climate justice is a crucial issue, particularly for Indigenous communities that are disproportionately affected by environmental changes despite contributing the least to global emissions. Achieving sustainability and social justice requires an inclusive approach that considers diverse policies, cultural perspectives, and methodological interventions. As globalization deepens interconnectivity, addressing climate justice through equitable policies, climate finance, and community-driven solutions becomes essential for ensuring a just and sustainable future. Examining both policy gaps and actionable solutions can help create frameworks that protect vulnerable populations while advancing global sustainability goals. Community Climate Justice and Sustainable Development explores the intersection of climate justice, Indigenous rights, and sustainable development, highlighting the policies and actions needed to achieve social and environmental equity. By analyzing case studies, policy frameworks, and financial mechanisms, it provides a comprehensive discussion on bridging the gap between climate commitments and real-world impact. Covering topics such as climate migrants, tribal rights, and indigenous knowledge, this book is an excellent resource for social justice advocates, environmentalists, policymakers, professionals, researcher, scholars, academicians, and more.
