Explainers

Air pollution, which comes from many of the same sources as the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, is one of the largest threats to human health worldwide.

“Loss and damage” is a term used by the United Nations to describe the harms inflicted by climate change that go beyond what people can adapt to.

Climate justice is the principle that the benefits reaped from activities that cause climate change, and the burdens of climate change impacts, should be distributed fairly.
