About This Collection

Reframing climate change to climate justice affords us the opportunity to view climate change science through the lens of environmental, social and economic justice and understand that global warming is an ethical and moral issue.  A major proposition of climate justice is that those who are least responsible for climate change suffer its gravest consequences.

The purpose of this collection is to draw your attention to the many voices of climate justice to educate and inspire you.  Of particular note, "Faith communities carrying this message (of climate justice) are potentially powerful voices on climate change – voices that have been largely silent on the issue until recently."   

EarthSayers.tv has also started a Web collection, here as a blog, on Faith and Climate Justice.

Darrel Moellendorf, a professor at Goethe University Frankfurt, examines climate justice in the Anthropocene—an era defined by humanity's impact on nature. He discusses geoengineering, new technologies to artificially cool the planet, as a potential solution, noting its inherent trade-offs and risks.

This clip summarizes Professor Moellendorf's comments from an April 2018 roundtable. Hosted by the Carnegie Council's "Ethics & International Affairs" journal at the International Studies Association's Annual Convention, the full transcript and audio are available here.
