Moving towards climate justice in the Amazon: A systemic response to uneven impacts

Climate crisis in the Amazon highlights inequalities between countries and populations. While the Global North accounts for the majority of historical carbon emissions, the most severe impacts fall on the Global South, particularly indigenous peoples and traditional communities. Severe weather events, such as droughts, floods, and heat waves, exacerbate social, economic, and environmental injustices. Experts argue that climate justice requires historical accountability, adequate financing, and inclusive participation in decision-making. Ensuring rights, strengthening governance, and promoting sustainable development are essential measures to address uneven impacts and build a fairer and more effective response to the climate crisis in the Amazon region.
