GLOSSARY FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE

To aid understanding and concrete action-taking by communities and organizations, the Latin American and Caribbean Platform for Climate Justice has prepared this Climate Justice Glossary now in your hands. This Glossary is divided into five sectionsrelating to i) Climate justice: how social movements worldwide have developed their own narrative about the crisis in the face of institutional narratives; ii) False solutions: the tools and mechanisms that serve to distract from what we really need to transform the climate crisis; iii) Climate change jargon: the technical terminology mentioned above; iv) Strategies of corporations and states: how big polluters seek to evade their responsibilities and keep polluting using false solutions; and v) Peoples’proposals and solutions: to build collective hope.
